If he is fit, I don't ever want to see Antony start. That's how I rate Amad over Antony.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Made some good runs and good passes.
Deserves a start if the alternative is Antony.
Looking forward to seeing more of him.

We wasted 80+million quid on buying Antony when we had Amad, Sancho on the books even back then.
The opportunity costs! We could have spent it elsewhere.
Already ahead of Antony, but that doesn't say much.
Wrong quote. My bad.
Comical how? He shrugged Gibbs White off the ball and won it back cleanly after a short chase, what more would you expect from him in that situation?
Didn’t exactly set the world alight but showed some urgency, crisp passing and understanding of what he’s meant to do - everything that Antony doesn’t.
Looked to have more technical ability than Pellistri with more awareness of those around him.
I think he has similar athletic abilities to Antony so not going to expect him to be ripping past FB's.

Was so obvious how much better he is than Antony even last year watching him for Sunderland yet you had idiots saying he needed another loan. He doesn't even have to be good, if he's just bang average on that RW he's better than any other option we have right now.
The kid played 10x better than Antony. And he doesn't cost 80m with 200k/wk wage.
He doesn't really need to, nor does Antony. Antony's issue is that he's also a horrific passer and terrible in front of goal, which coupled with his issues 1v1 comes out to have one of the most hopeless attackers that was a regular starter that we've ever had at the club. Amad is solid to good at both of those things and overall just displays a level of composure and IQ that Antony has never shown.
Exactly. Sometimes i wonder what some users here watch during the game, can't be the same thing we're all watching. He's clearly not as sharp as he can be but he showed some good things today.
Looked dangerous. Start him in the next game.
I get that he was lively and did well but I think we need to pace his involvement carefully until he reaches full match fitness. Go back to Nacho and Rashford on the wings, get Amad coming in later on for now.
Ten hag should try amad as a attacking midfielder(number 10)
Gibbs White couldn't run, but kept the ball for 50 meters with Diallo jogging behind him. He won it back in the end, when he got a little help, but he should have done it far earlier. Wasn't a big deal, just an example of how he still lacks a little intensity at times.
Under a brave manager with conviction, fitness permitting, I can see him ousting Bruno because in as much as the latter is creative he is a net zero kind of player in that the control you give up with him negates his creative impact. A no. 10 should be someone who helps you run the game not a turnover merchant.
Looked better in 20 minutes than Antony has in 20 games
This is my fear. PL is a league of monsters now, you need rapid players and we have arguably none. It’s especially key in wide areas. Really we should be looking for a new RW.
Oh yeah people asking him to start are being too impatient, he would be finished after 30 minutes at full intensity and you're also running the risk of injuring him.
Let him settle in, give him 30 minutes every change for the next couple of weeks and he'll be match sharp by February
I think we have like 2 games in January. Not much opportunities for getting match fit
I liked his run against MGW in the end, but beside that he looked abit defending. Also when pressing. Very promising on the ball.
So refreshing to see a RW trying to be decisive with his passing, runs and even shots. Sample size is minuscule but he looks already better than Antony
Similar abilities between 2 players but a different level in footballing IQ could give very different performances. Ben Arfa was more talented than Mahrez even if they were similar but Mahrez was a much more intelligent footballer
Ok in that case I’m 100% in agreement. There’s been some bizarre takes - one poster said that Amad had been atrocious. So had to make sure.
Looked kinda good doing almost nothing. Miles better than Antony.
Very tidy cameo. Needs to play more.
No way. He cant lead the press. Bruno kept guiding him during the game.
Did fine. Tried to play simple, give and go. He did himself no harm tonight.
Hopefully we will get some positive news regarding the injury to Antony!

Agreed, sizzling performance out there today. Just needs to start frying up some results for us now.
Hoping he isn't off to AFCON
Looked bright on the right. sancho-like touch and link up.

Agree, think he actually might be the type of player Ten Hag hoped he was getting with Antony, can carry the ball but it is the link play and clever passing that make him interesting. Really hope they don't send him out on loan, this season is a wash, get mins for guys like Diallo and Mainoo.
Looked like he can actually control the ball which is a refreshing change
You cannot underestimate the value of a player who does something sensible and thoughtful with the ball every time. We have precious few of those in the squad. Eriksen, Martial, Amad, maybe Mainoo. That’s probably it (excluding defenders). We have too many stupid, selfish players, which is why our football is stupid and selfish.
Just not been Antony is enough for now.
I don't trust Ten Hag to allow him kick on in the first team though.

Looks promising with more end product.
