The talented prospect has featured in 96 matches in all competitions for Atalanta including in their youth sides and has been directly involved in a hugely impressive 62 goals.

The highly-rated teenage winger is best suited to playing  on the right-side of a front-three and is widely considered to be one of the best youth prospects in Italy’s top-flight.

According to a recent report from leading journalist Fabrizio Romano United have reached an agreement to sign the youngster for a sum of around £27m.

Romano goes onto report that due to work permit and passport complications Traore will not team-up with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side until the turn of the new year.
