Diallo looks like a special talent - as does Pellistri to be fair. Anybody know the deal with Diallo's medical today? I know he passed it, but he's not coming until January, right? Why the medical now?
Diallo vs Pellistri

Deal is subject to medical. Of course they have to do it now to finalise the deal.
So he takes a medical for us to go play for Atalanta for another few months - just seems weird. But I'll take your word for it, dude.
Not much point going to all the trouble of getting a work permit only to have him fail the medical.
True story. Makes sense.
Loads of people were saying that Greenwood is a crap finisher, and people were comparing Rashford to Josh King after their first seasons.
Maybe your plea for people not to bite your head off is because you know you are being ridiculous.
I think his point is that, whether he passes the medical or not, by the time he joins us in January he'll most likely need another one. A lot can happen.
My answer to the original question is that it's probably a formality when putting through a deal. Just to make sure there aren't any chronic issues at hand.
EDIT: Read your response wrong, we're on the same page haha.
Who said Greenwood is like Rashford? When its clear he is the better forward. Greenwood was unlucky with his finishes. It was quiet clear he was not physically ready to play and after the lockdown he bulked up and started performing.
I said from the video they don't like ready to be our first team right winger but if you think they are ready to make the right wing position their own then you're being ridiculous.
Just picture... with an eye on the future

Greenwood
i wanted him as the backup option to Sanchnoooo but a few posters on here were saying he’s way too raw. Well I guess Ed showed them!
Based on the old classic YouTube scouting job I’m going to say Diallo looks a much better player currently
Try rereading?
You're saying people said Greenwood is a rubbish finisher when it was clear he wasn't physically ready. Rashford comparison with Josh King is load of shit, comparison was with Welbeck. Rashford is inconsistent, and his goal tallies is high bexause of the amount of penalties he scored.
The fact is you think two young wingers will make the right wing their own when from the clips they're not ready for it which is ridiculous.
Not biting I promise but what do you think is going to hold him back as a first team player on the wings?
Wow blast from the past haven’t heard his name in a few years
So the good news is that he isn’t a fake talent. The bad news is that he isn’t an unreal talent.
Kind of what I’d expect for the price.
To be fair if he can become 80% of David Silva then that’s a great, great player to have around.
Certainly.
Looking forward to see our kid dominant europeans football in the future.

Not to offend you (honestly), but from the bulk of this thread consisting of ‘have not seen them, don’t know’ or satiric ‘next messi’ posts, I’m unsure if you are serious or not. I’m in the ‘don’t know’ group about Diallo having seen some YT highlights and half a u19 game v Lyon. Where you serious, and if so, what do you base that on?
It depends how many of them have a dream to play for Madrid one day...
How come Tuanzebe makes your team but not Rashford?
You can't insure players without a medical. The deal for the transfer has been completed. The registration will be exchanged when the window opens.
No offence taken my friend and understand your point. It’s come from a mate of mine whose brother is an agent in Europe (won’t specify) he’s considered serious hot property by many in the scouting and agents worlds. If we hadn’t signed him now one of the other big clubs or a sh!!ty Dortmund we’re gonna nab him in the next window. He is on a number of radars and I’ve seen footage of him not on YouTube from my mate who obviously got it from his brother. This is a great signing
Thanks, good to hear.
Big no
3 years later and the two of them are looking like promising squad players.
Have to assume Diallo will be part of the United squad next season.
So who’s the better right winger and can one of them play the 10 role?

The issue we're going to have next season is we have 6 players for the wide spots.
Rashford
Sancho
Garnacho
Antony
Amad
Pellistri
Ultimately I don't think ETH fancies Pellistri much, I reckon he'll be sold in the summer.
You need to add Elanga to that list.
And Amad seems to be developing more into a false 9/10 role. He has great touch, vision and ball retention but lacks the sheer pace and quick acceleration for the wide role.
Amad to play behind the striker while Pellistri will most likely be sold
I think Pellistri will leave. He keeps playing well without getting game time. Just seems as though ETH doesn’t like some facets of his game
Actually, I feel United will regret letting one of them go. I think Pellestri should be given a chance on the right even if our 80 million winger has to sit of the bench. ETH should be fair and give Pellestri a run of games to prove himself. If he fails to prove himself then sell him. Amad could play behind the striker.
I think they are both potentially better than our current right winger, with a much higher ceiling
Pellistri made a brilliant cameo yesterday, surely after that we'll see a bit more of him in the remaining games. Fully expect him to push for an exit in the summer if he doesn't, and you can't blame him.
Why is that? Even if they're turning out to be a good player, good is not good enough. Not at the price of years of development and game time. Just sell them and buy someone who's ready to fit the bill. It's not like they're academy product anyway. We owe them nothing
That's the type of mentality that saw Chelsea sell De bruyne, Lukaku and Salah before giving them proper game time. We owe ourselves to find out if they are good enough especially looking at how much a decent winger goes for.
Anyway aside from the mass hysteria and usual Caf panic we are in safe hands.
Ten Hag enjoys working with young players and helping them develop. He’s done it this season with Garnacho and has been integrating Mainoo and Pellistri.
We should be positive about our options for the future not moaning as per.
Great set of talented young players.

Good talents for sure, but come on. Diallo is nowhere near good enough to be a starter in a top side in the PL and seems to have found his level at Sunderland. Pellistri too, despite that one good involvement yesterday. 3rd choice rotation options at best next season. Still impossible to know if they have what it takes to be differencemakers on the top level, but I would say it's low risk letting them both go.
