Atalanta are urging Manchester United to rethink their plans for Amad Diallo.
The teenager agreed to join the Red Devils for £37million on deadline day in October, and was set to link up with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side this month.
However, the Serie A side are trying to hold on to their starlet for a few more months.
Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini said: "There is an internal solution that could be very interesting, which is Amad Diallo.
"Clearly, Manchester United own him, but he could remain with us for a few more months.
“I really like him, he's only 18, and I'd like him to stay until June, but obviously it depends on his club."
