Amad Diallo could be set to make his Manchester United debut this evening after being named among the substitutes for the fifth round FA Cup clash with West Ham

It is the teenager’s first involvement in a senior match day squad since he completed his January transfer from Italian side Atalanta. 

Diallo bagged three assists and scored a goal himself as Manchester United's Under-23s fought back from 4-2 down to seal a late 6-4 victory against Blackburn Rovers last month.

Diallo, agreed to join United in the summer transfer window, but had to wait until the January window for his move from Atalanta to be finalised.

He also impressed for United's U23s in a 6-3 win over Liverpool on 30 January, scoring a brace which led to journalists asking Solskjaer whether the winger was ready for his first team.

Man United XI to face West Ham: Henderson, Wan Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles, Matic, Fred, Van de Beek, Rashford, Martial, Greenwood

Subs: Grant, Shaw, Tuanzebe, Williams, Fernandes, James, McTominay, Diallo, Cavani
