Man United's Amad Diallo scores cheeky panenka penalty, fans draw Sancho comparison

Manchester United had a far from the satisfactory transfer window but made a flurry of signings on deadline day including the likes of Alex Telles and Edinson Cavani. Along with two South American superstars, the Red Devils cast an eye on the future by splashing the cash on two 18-year-old wingers in Facundo Pellistri and Amad Diallo, with the latter set to move to Old Trafford in January. While Man United couldn't lay hands on chief target Jadon Sancho, fans are hopeful that the new signings including Amad Diallo can make a mark in the Premier League.

Amad Diallo has regarded as one of the biggest talents of his age and Man United fans are hopeful that the Atalanta youngster can fulfil his potential at Old Trafford.

While many believed that Diallo's signing was a 'panic buy', the Red Devils had been monitoring the Atalanta wonderkid for over a year. Man United fans have been closely monitoring how Amad Diallo has been turning for the Italian outfit, and his skills were on display when he scored a cheeky penalty in a video that has gone viral on social media.
