Solskjaer has had to play Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and even Paul Pogba in the position on occasions this season. Mason Greenwood, who played well in the position last season, hasn't been as consistent this campaign and is naturally a striker.
United tried hard to sign Jadon Sancho in the summer, with the knowledge that they needed someone on the right, and Diallo could soon make the step up.
Speaking recently about the teenager, Solskjaer said, "There will need to be some adjustment to settle into the hustle and bustle of the physical part of the Premier League but I can't see it being too long until he's in the squad."
On last night's basis, Hannibal might not be too far behind him.
