This week, Baleba and Ahmad Diallo joined a Q&A session with Sky Sports fans, discussing various topics including idols, daily life, and training experiences at Manchester UnitedRelated: [Baleba: Pogba was the first to message me after I joined Manchester United, he's one of my idols]

Can you explain what was happening in this photo?

Ahmad: It's a funny moment between me and Ethan Wheatley. I lost a small competition during training, so I had to wear this jacket.

I see Leny Yoro is wearing a gold jacket too. Is that because he also lost a training competition?

Ahmad: Yes, that's right.

When we interviewed Leny Yoro previously, he said you just liked that jacket.

Ahmad: (Laughs) Actually, it's just a bit of fun. Ethan Wheatley and I are always joking around in the dressing room. I wore that jacket and he filmed it and posted it on social media.

We've never seen Baleba wearing that jacket though.

Ahmad: Oh, that jacket's probably gone missing by now.

Next question: Who is the greatest African footballer of all time?

Ahmad: To be honest, it's hard to pick just one. It's really difficult. We have to respect Pelé and Pelé. So I can't really choose just one.

Whose goal celebrations are better, yours or his?

Baleba: Mine, definitely.

You haven't seen his celebrations?

Ahmad: His moves are really cool. He does backflips, front flips—lots of style.

If you could pick one Manchester United legend to play alongside, who would it be and why?

Ahmad: Rooney.

That was quick. Why Rooney?

Ahmad: I really admire his fighting spirit. When playing for this club, I always try to emulate his mentality and determination. He's the player I'd most like to have played with.

Who do you think is the best young talent in the Premier League right now? Remember: you two are still very young—you can't pick yourselves or each other.

Ahmad: In my opinion, it's Kobbie Mainoo. Kobbie plays in such a mature way, and it's impressive that he has so much competitive experience at such a young age.

Since you joined the team, you've seen him grow and develop physically and positionally. He's become much stronger in the past year with significant physical improvements. What do you think is his biggest change?

Ahmad: I think he understands that to build a reputation in the Premier League, he needs sufficient competitive experience. When Amorim was the manager before, he didn't get many opportunities, but he remained patient and trained hard. Now he's seized his chance and proven himself in the Premier League, aiming to become one of the league's top players. In my view, he's the best young talent in the Premier League.

Well said. Next question: A hotly debated topic—what is the best African food?

Ahmad: There are many delicious options, and each country has its own specialties. Ivory Coast has its own special dishes, Senegal has theirs, Ghana has theirs, and Nigeria has Jollof rice. Each country has different flavors. It's really hard to pick just one.

Baleba, have you tried this food in Manchester?

Ahmad: Not yet. I'll take him to try it soon.

How are your cooking skills? Do you cook at home?

Ahmad: About 70%, I'd say. My cooking is okay, nothing bad.

What's your signature dish?

Baleba: Pasta. (Laughs)

Ahmad: Bolognese. I learned it when I was in Italy.

Baleba: Anyone can make that dish.

Ahmad: Making it is one thing, but making it taste good is what matters. The flavor has to be right.

Next question: Who is the toughest opponent you've ever faced?

Ahmad: I'd pick Virgil van Dijk. He's very tall and strong in one-on-one duels. I'm quite small, so it's very difficult to get past him. He's the toughest opponent I've ever come up against.

Who is the best dancer in the Manchester United team? I've seen clips of you dancing, Ahmad.

Ahmad: I'm a pretty good dancer.

Do you agree that Ahmad is the king of dancing in the team?

Baleba: I'll admit he's good, but I've told him I'm a better dancer than him. (Laughs)

Are you that confident? Ahmad, do you agree that he's better than you?

Ahmad: I don't agree. I'd have to see it with my own eyes first.

Baleba: I can teach you to dance. (Laughs)

That's something to look forward to. Maybe your goal celebrations could turn into a dance routine together in the future.

Ahmad: We could actually try that.

If you weren't a professional footballer, what would you like to do?

Ahmad: I'm a decent student. If I hadn't gone down the football path, I'd have continued to university and wanted to become a doctor. I'm quite interested in that field.

Well, you could come work with us then. (Laughs) Thanks for joining us for this interview. I had a great time.
