Manchester United to sign player from Atalanta in January

Manchester United continue to look for reinforcements and are doing so with special enthusiasm after this Sunday's defeat to Tottenham at Old Trafford.

Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer's side already reportedly have a signing done for January. According to Fabrizio Romano, the agreement between the Red Devils and Atalanta for the sale of Amad Traoré is complete.

United will pay 30 million euros plus bonuses for the very young 18-year-old player. The signing has been verbally agreed on for January because there is now no time to get a work permit and complete all the paperwork.

Amad Traoré is an Ivorian winger who has been standing out in the Atalanta youth system for years. He has already debuted for the first team this season and in three matches, despite only playing 23 minutes, has been capable of scoring a goal.

A transfer with a view to the future that could be confirmed very soon by the parties, although there will be no time for him to join this market.
