I liked him as a false 9 against Wolves last season, whoever had this idea should be kept as a coach in the next setup.

He should be the 4th choice wing option.

Rashford, Sancho, Greenwood & Amad.

Sell/release Jesse, Mata, Martial.
Yes, with Greenwood as our 2nd striker next year.

This guy is so so good, would be a shame if he doesnt make it here. He will definitely make it, be it somewhere else.

Completely agree with you and @Bwuk

Believe it or not, there's people on here that think we need 4 senior CFs and will go absolutely mad if an u23 player has to sit on the bench.

In reality, the u23 player that plays on a weekly basis will likely perform better than the 6th choice senior player who would not have played a game in 6 months were he needed.

Amad deserves the chance to learn from Ronaldo; it could take him to the next level to watch that level of professionalism.

It is rumored Atalanta would take him back on loan with option to buy, which could suit all parties at this stage. I am not exactly sure how the monetary aspect could be matched, though. Percassi is a notorious shark and you would find his offer offensive for sure, considering how much you paid for Amad in first instance. :lol:

Ffs, we're not selling Amad at a loss just because he got injured and didnt go on loan.

"Suit all parties", except us?

Lots of clubs want him on loan, including Feyenoord. He is a good player and if our next appointment has eyeballs he'll see that as well.

That was one of my most enjoyable United performances in a long time. Technical, passing football, we had Amad, Mata, Donny and Matic all operating on central areas and the interplay was a glimpse of how we should move the ball IMO.

Yes. We're likely to get dumped out early regardless of who we play, so play the guy who is going to be at the club in 12 months
And besides, I doubt the reason we get knocked out early is using Amad over Lingard.

Amad must play in the last game of the CL group now that we have finished top.

None of this starting Mata nonsense.

They may both play? I think Mata will definitely play out of respect.
If they both play that's fine. If Mata plays over Amad it's not fine.

Let's be honest Mata should never get any minutes over Amad. He really shouldn't even be here anymore.

Sentiment has been 1 of many reasons we are where we are. He should not be in any squad for United anymore.

Disagree. Amad should go on loan in January, I'd rather give the minutes to lads on the bench that will be here this season and will play when we have injuries.
Greenwood, Martial (Or Rashy), Lingard, VDB, Cavani (once back), etc. Our squad shouldn't be this massive, but it is what it is.

Mata shouldn't have been given a contract unless we'd have sold more players and sent some kids on loan.

Amad is here now and ready. It would be irresponsible to not be giving him any minutes. Doesn't matter if he is going on loan or not

Lingard isn't a player with any future here. Even giving him minutes over Amad is nonsensical.

Martials git a decent amount of chances recently and done absolutely nothing. Amad has yet to have a bad game when given the chance.

VDB doesn't play the same position.

Rashford Greenwood Amad would be a good 3 for the game.

Should be starting against Young Boys, no real excuse not to. And Hannibal, who was excellent for the 19s yesterday too.

Lingard doesn't have a future here, unless we have an injury and he comes into the picture this season. Hell, I wouldn't mind seeing him LW on the weekend, let alone when Rashy is unavailable.

Lingard Martial Greenwood (if Cavani ain't back).

And this is coming from someone that would have shipped off some of these players in a heartbeat and promoted Elanga and Amad.

Owes a debt to Sancho for confirming our qualification by putting the game out of reach.


The reason these kids have suffered is because we've been so poor - almost every game won is done by the skin our our teeth and we've never had control of games. If we start to win more convincingly, hopefully the likes of Amad, Mejbri, and Elanga will get more look ins.

Just because Sancho is a right footed RW -

Does anyone know if Amad has ever played LW?

We’re probably more likely to turn to Mata than these kids anyway.

Amad and Mejbri should start next CL game, it's a dead rubber and a good chance to see how these young players cope up with senior football.

Players like Mata, Lingard have no future at club, no point wasting any minute on them.

He's played on the left with us a bit. From what I remember when we signed him and scouting reports were popping up around the place he can play across the entire front line (LW, CAM, False 9, RW)

I'm getting a bit worried about his development to date. Injuries are costly at this early stage and he hasn't had many chances when he is fit. We need to get him some football one way or another.

Not sure that would work as well really. He relies more on balance and agility rather than pure speed. While it might be possible, he's the type of player who'd be better in the centre of the pitch hence why he likes cutting inside from the right onto his left.

I think the LW would be a last resort. I'd love to see him as the CAM or false 9 playing with Sancho, they're both great at the quick 1 touch pass and move style football with great technique.

Mejbri has gone to play in an international tournament hasn’t he?

Yeah - it's just more that I wonder if we have a left sided version of the RW version of sancho - who cam play more like a traditional winger with the ability to cut in and play through balls too.

Greenwood can't do it so I was wondering about Amad.

Whilst it's not a go to tactic - you never know if a poacher like Ronaldo could use crosses from a LW like Sancho can give from the right.

I'm sure he could happily play that role if we wanted him to, but he'd always prefer coming to feet and dribbling than running over the top. I know he has good acceleration but his top speed is fairly average.

I guess what i'm trying to say is he's more of a technician like Mata than a runner like Rashford

Really frustrates me when its a dead rubber or easier tie, we play Mata and Lingard when they will most likely leave in the summer.

Why not give the players that could be the future a chance.

Still can't believe Lingard didn't get criticism for posting pic in West Ham jersey, after briefing journalists that contract talks broke down and he won't sign new contract.

I think it's because no one cares, he can go to West Ham, its not going to be a big miss really.

Initially, he didn't even want West Ham so lets see. It will be interesting to see what wages they offer him

That last group game I want to see Amad, Hannibal, Elanga, Greenwood up top, maybe more mins for VDB alongside Matic (experience). We screwed up the League Cup mins for these players and barring an easy 3rd round FA Cup draw they probably won't play much this season.

Mejbri has gone to play in an international tournament hasn’t he?
Mejbri has been selected to join the Tunisian squad for the Arab Cup which starts on the 30th of November and concludes on the 18th of December.

It's probably better for him to play in that competition.

What do you mean dead rubber? I want us to batter them to shreds after what they did to us.

9-0 minimum.

Would love to see this guy link up with Sancho. Really enjoyed watching Sancho on tuesday and it felt like we´ve missed that level of technical ability and creativity. Amad has a similar style and i think they could enjoy playing together.
