After coming close to winning the Europa League with Manchester United, the 18-year-old Ivorian winger travelled to Abidjan, where he was called up by Patrice Beaumelle for friendlies against Burkina Faso and Ghana. Before reuniting with his compatriots, Amad Diallo took a tour of his childhood neighbourhood of Adjamé Château.

Taking advantage of this back-to-basics moment, the Red Devils number 19 wanted to pay tribute to Ballo Souleymane, better known by his nickname ”Sogbi”. The former Atalanta Bergamo man revealed that it was thanks to him that he was able to start his football career, which has led him to where he is today.

“If I am at Manchester United today, it is thanks to this great man, it is thanks to him that I joined the Leader Foot Académie training center in Adjamé, and from there, he motivated me to never give up. A simple man who did so much for me, thank you for everything, my old man”,

thus the youngest of the Traoré brothers confided in a message recorded by the Elephants support Facebook page. Great proof of recognition!
