Exclusive interview Amad Diallo discusses becoming a Man Utd player and what he wants to achieve

How much more can you develop as a player?
“I’m only young, only 18, so there is still a long way ahead for me. I want to learn and progress and I will be listening to the more experienced players here and the coach, and I’ll do my best and work hard to succeed.”

How excited are you to link up with our fantastic coaching staff and world-class players?
“To be honest I cannot wait, I’m so excited at the prospect of working with these fantastic people at such a great club. This adventure is about to start and I’m really, really excited and over the moon.”

Of course we have a fellow Ivorian in the ranks, Eric Bailly. How helpful will it be to have him here as you settle in at the club?
“Absolutely, Eric will be a definite reference point for me. I’ve actually already been in touch with him over the last few months and we’ve been chatting. I’ll be asking him for advice and will be listening to all he says, and also the other players who speak French and Italian like [Paul] Pogba for example, he will be another good reference point for me.”
