Manchester United fans have to wait until January to see deadline day signing Amad Diallo in action.
Diallo is continuing to train with Atalanta in the meantime, and 2021 is moving closer each day.
The young winger today shared a video from a training session on Instagram, where he scored an impressive solo goal.
Diallo controlled an awkward ball easily, before embarking on a run which saw a couple of stepovers, a pirouette and another dummy before placing the ball into the net.
It was just a goal in training, yet it neatly shows what a skilful talent United will soon have to work with.
Diallo will not be rushed into the United first team, and will likely be integrated into the squad slowly like Facundo Pellistri.
But if he can make a big impression, then he has a chance of getting fast-tracked through.
United are short on wingers and there is nobody in the first team capable of scoring the kind of tricky individual goal seen above.
It is why United fans hope that in a couple of years, the club could have a world beater on their hands.
