MUFC Wanting To Sign Me Made Me Emotional – Amad Diallo

Manchester United forward, Amad Diallo has come out to say that he thought he was being pranked when he found out that MUFC wanted to sign him from Atalanta. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, it has always been his dream to play at Old Trafford, so the moment he got the call that Manchester United wanted to sign him, he was up for it immediately.

Diallo added that the transfer happened so quickly, and it was a very emotional experience.

His words, “I remember I was at home and the director called me. He said: ‘Amad, United want to sign you’. I say: ‘Really? United? No, no, you are joking, you joke!’ So he’s like: ‘Yeah, yeah’. ‘Really, really? Okay give me the contract. I sign directly’. He said: ‘No, Amad, come on’. And I say: ‘Yes, really, it’s Manchester United. It’s my dream to play at Old Trafford. He said: Really?’ I say: ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah. Give me the contract and I sign directly. I say you are not joking with me are you, or is it true?’ He said: ‘No, it’s true’ and I was so happy. I called my mum directly and I say Manchester United want me. So I was so happy. It happened quickly.

When I see Old Trafford [sighs] yeah. I remember when I was in the Ivory Coast, when I watched every game, United against [Manchester] City, United against Chelsea. I watched Old Trafford on the TV and, today, I am at Old Trafford. So I was very emotional, it was a very emotional day for me.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
