AMAD DIALLO (£3.7m) is currently the most transferred-in player ahead of Gameweek 16. It's early days as the deadline isn't until Saturday morning with several fixtures still to come before the current Gameweek is complete but clearly the Manchester United youngster has made an impression on Dream Team managers.

The 22-year-old inspired the Red Devils to victory over Manchester City at the Etihad on Sunday. First, he capitalised on an under-hit back pass from Matheus Nunes (£3.3m) and the Portuguese midfielder's over eagerness to atone for his mistake to win a penalty, successful converted by Bruno Fernandes (£6.3m) for an 88th-minute equaliser.

Two minutes later, Diallo latched onto a pass over the top to take the onrushing Ederson (£3.6m) out of the game before executing a smart finish from an acute angle to claim all three points for the visitors. When the dust had settled, Diallo banked 16 points as he also earned three bonus points outside of his dramatic goal contributions.

That the Ivory Coast international emerged as Man United's hero against the defending champions would not have surprised a large portion of fans, who have witnessed his gallant efforts of late. Diallo has now scored or assisted in four of his last five appearances in all competitions.

Widening the frame, he's registered three goals and seven assists in his last seven outings - a fruitful spell that has yielded 87 points in six Gameweeks. Ruben Amorim has rotated his attacking assets during his first few weeks as Old Trafford boss with Diallo even playing some minutes as a wing-back in the former Sporting CP tactician's preferred 3-4-3 formation.
