Manchester United’s young Amad Diallo was tipped to win the Ballon d’Or in five years by the man who put him on the path to stardom.
Former AC Milan and Italy goalkeeper Giovanni Galli, who organized the teenager’s trial at Atalanta, believes the winger just needs to add strength to his skills to become a drummer of the world.

Diallo was bent for greatness
Diallo, who joined United from Atalanta in January for £ 36million, was worn by Galli when he was sporting director for Serie C side Lucchese.
He was alerted to the Ivorian’s electric screens for amateur club Boca Barco and then set up a tryout with Atalanta before joining the top squad.
Galli told Goal: “Amad is unique but he has to make himself stronger.
“At the same time, he has to make sure he doesn’t lose his speed, which is a quality that sets him apart from the rest.
“In short, I think he has all the qualities to be a candidate for the Ballon d’Or in the next five years. “

Diallo’s sparkling potential has been mentioned by many top players in the game and his former Atalanta teammate Papu Gomez, who is now at Sevilla, admitted that the forward “played like Lionel Messi”.
The 33-year-old said: “He’s a future star, believe me.
“In our training sessions, he plays like Messi.
“You can’t stop him, he’s amazing, our center-backs have serious problems when he’s on the pitch. He is fantastic.
Diallo scored a brilliant first goal for the Red Devils earlier this month as United drew with AC Milan at Old Trafford.
