Journalist Fabrizio Romano claims that Diallo has now been granted a passport to travel to England.
He wrote: “Amad Diallo has finally received his passport, the deadlines have been met.
“He will fly to Manchester in January to compete his move to Manchester United.”
The transfer fee for the teenager is expected to rise to £37million including add-ons.
United infuriated Italian side Parma when they beat them to the signing of the winger.
An emotional Facetime call with Solskjaer convinced him to pick Old Trafford.
Diallo has been playing with the Serie A side’s academy during the 2020-21 season.
He has scored three goals in as many matches for Atalanta’s Under-23s.
In October, the flashy winger was at the centre of an illegal immigrant probe.
He is not set to be the only new arrival at Manchester United in January.
Solskjaer has reportedly already identified FOUR positions he wants to strengthen next month.
