United are understood to have stepped up their scouting of Diatta in recent weeks and had scouts present for Sarpsborg’s meeting with Odd on the weekend.

‘I didn’t know they scouted me today, but to join them would be a dream come true,’ Diatta told TV2.
‘I think I’m good enough, but I play for Sarpsborg and love this club. We’ll see what happens in the future.’
United continue their Champions League campaign against CSKA Moscow in Russia on Wednesday and will be looking to make it two wins out of two after beating Basel 3-0 in their opening group fixture.
