Man Utd transfer roundup: Red Devils take Amad Diallo and Paul Pogba decision last

The January transfer window is open and Manchester United face a number of key decisions.

United have been waiting for Amad Diallo to arrive for a few months after securing the teenage prospect on deadline day last October.

But Diallo’s January move to Old Trafford has come into question as Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini has stressed his desire to keep the 18-year-old on loan for the remainder of the season.

This left the United hierarchy with a decision on Diallo’s immediate future, as they also had to make up their minds on how to deal with Paul Pogba.

The Frenchman has made no secret of his desire to leave the Red Devils and it looks like he will be granted this summer.

Pogba’s planned departure could be made easier by the arrival of a Borussia Dortmund star, as United consider a blow for either Erling Haaland or Jadon Sancho.

Here’s the roundup of Monday’s transfers to Manchester United.

Diallo to complete the move

Manchester United are unimpressed with Atalanta’s desire to keep hold of Amad Diallo and have no plans to let the teenager extend his time in Italy on a loan.

Diallo was pictured on a plane to Rome and is expected to arrive in Manchester in the middle of the week, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Last week Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini made a final attempt to keep Diallo for the remainder of the season.

United signed a deal with the 18-year-old Ivorian worth up to £ 37million in October, on the assumption that he would bond with his new teammates at Old Trafford in January.

This remains the Red Devils’ plan and they are confident they will get a work permit before Diallo’s planned arrival in a few days.

Pogba will be sold

Manchester United are resigned to selling Paul Pogba this summer, knowing the Frenchman will not sign a new deal.

Pogba is under contract at Old Trafford until the summer of 2022, but agent Mino Raiola has confirmed the midfielder is “unhappy” and would like to leave.

Sport mirror understand that the United hierarchy has agreed that Pogba will not sign a new contract, and this summer they will try to recoup as much as possible of the £ 89million they paid Juventus for him in 2016.

Juve are among the contenders for the 27-year-old, while Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are also monitoring the situation.

Sancho snubbed for Haaland

Erling Haaland has become Manchester United’s priority transfer target as they cool their long-term interest in Jadon Sancho.

Borussia Dortmund star Sancho came close to joining United last summer, but the Red Devils were ultimately put off by his hefty price tag, which was reportedly set at £ 108million.

Sport mirror understands that the Old Trafford bosses no longer see the England international as central to their future plans thanks to their impressive first half of the Premier League season.

Instead, United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to sign Norwegian and Sancho teammate in Dortmund Erling Haaland.
