Diallo made an immediate impact with the winger needing just 13 minutes to open his account.

The 18-year-old won the ball and raced clear before planting a low finish into the net for his first United goal.

And Diallo showed he is not short of confidence as he scored a Panenka penalty to double his tally in United’s convincing win.

His impressive display will have caught the eye of Ole Gunnar Solskjær as he looks to earn a spot in their first-team squad.

Commenting on the pacy winger, Solskjaer said: “That’s his preferred position.

“He is good at finding space, he can go inside and outside and he will get the time to prove that he is the one.”

The Ivorian talent joined the club this month in a £37million deal from Atalanta.

Marcus Rashford was gushing with praise recently for the new arrival at Old Trafford.

Rashford told MUTV: “He’s a wonderful technical player so I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of him soon.”
