Man Utd: Shaw comments on Mount's signing

Amad Diallo
Amad Diallo was among the most popular names on United supporters' lips heading into pre-season.
The 21-year-old thrived on loan at Sunderland last term and looked set to challenge for a first-team berth at Old Trafford.
However, Amad suffered an injury in pre-season, making his task of breaking into Ten Hag's plans even more difficult.
If he leaves on loan again and Greenwood is a prominent name when he returns, his career may be better placed elsewhere.
Facundo Pellistri
The same applies to Facundo Pellistri. Also a right-winger. Also 21. And he arrived in the same summer as Amad.
Pellistri has shown bright sparks during pre-season, as he did during Ten Hag's maiden campaign, but he is expected to leave on loan in the coming weeks.
The Uruguay international is reportedly in talks over a contract extension in M16, but Greenwood's return may force a rethink.
With Hojlund and Martial the only natural strikers at Ten Hag's disposal to start the season, it feels like an excellent opportunity for the next Marcus Rashford to spring onto the scene.
Joe Hugill and Charlie McNeill are best placed to make that jump after featuring in pre-season.
However, Greenwood is a similar age and would be far a more established option if he rediscovers his best form.
Both could depart on loan again this season after respective stints at Altrincham and Newport County but may return to find their paths to regular senior minutes blocked.
