Atalanta BC winger Amad Traore undergoes Manchester United medical

Manchester United are seemingly on the brink of confirming the transfer of Atalanta BC winger Amad Traore.

Throughout deadline day on Monday, it was claimed that United had agreed to sign the 18-year-old in a big-money deal.

Passport issues will prevent the teenager from formally linking up with United's first-team squad until the beginning of January.

However, widespread reports revealed on Thursday that Traore was undergoing a medical ahead of the two clubs finalising the transfer.

Traore had been close to agreeing a season-long loan spell with Parma before United put together a package which could potentially reach £37.7m.
