Diallo was reacting to comparisons with the Inter Miami superstar.
The 21-year-old’s technical ability has won plenty of admirers, with the fleet-footed youngster able to leave teammates bamboozled in training.
But Amad is eager to avoid being likened to one of the greatest players of all time.

He told United’s official website: “I know they said this [that I was like Lionel Messi in training] but no one plays like Messi.
“I am proud he [Gomez] says I play like Messi but I say no one plays like Messi! In training, I was like the same here, with a little bit of dribbling and scoring, so they say my football is more like Messi but, today, I say no one can play like Messi.”
