Amad Diallo has come with a lot of buzz despite having limited game time with Atlanta. At the tender age of 18, he is one from the future and can be a world-beater if he is nurtured properly.
Despite Manchester United’s perceived inaction in this transfer window, their acquisition of Amad Diallo is the most expensive trade in the window according to Sky Sports.
In total, Premier League clubs spent just £84.2m in January, with the biggest deal – Amad Diallo's £37m move from Atalanta to Manchester United – being agreed in the last window.

This season has been jam-packed due to the continuous flurry of matches and many of the top teams would have definitely loved to bring in more reinforcements but with the current financial scenario, one is forced to have a reality check on things.
Liverpool themselves have made two transfers (Ben Davies and Ozan Kabak) on the deadline day with what can definitely be called a fine piece of business by Michael Edwards but were more of a patch up thing than long term solutions.
According to Sky Sports, Premier League clubs spent just £84.2m in January which in an inflated market is really surprising. One of the few reasons may be that not many teams get a great price in the January transfer window unless it is a big name or there has already been an agreement in place. another reason is that there has been a great dent in the spending ability of most clubs.
Even though managers would have liked to get some players in many have opted for loan deals to fill in temporary gaps without burning a big hole in their pocket. Manchester United themselves have acquired a lot of youngsters and are looking to loan them on and develop a side with a great future. Amad Diallo is an important part of that plan and he can hopefully reach his potential with the Red Devils.
