Madness Forson is now ahead of him. Literally the few chances he has got in his United Career he does well but then never gets played again
Embarrassing in how we've handled him. Completely embarassing.
Oh and he's been fully fit for over a month now, he missed one game from illness but that's it for the "he's been injured crowd"

No, my first thought was that Mainoo is class and the second one was that Antony is horrific.Just won and that's your first thought
He'll get his chances don't cry.
Forson came on up front didn't he? If Amad came on there we'd be slating it.
Erik is obviously not a fan!
Forson heh, what has he done to deserve getting minutes instead?
Erik is a strange man.

Crazy that he didn't make it off the bench against Newport or tonight. Ten Hag wouldn't know talent if it slapped him in the face.
The guy plays in Antony's position Ten Hag will never give him a fair shot.
Ten Hag is a just such a weirdo with some players
Should take it as a personal insult that Forson got on pitch ahead of him and should train like a beast to never let it repeat.
Am I the only one who thought it probably didn't make sense to chuck him on today?
I don't have an opinion on Forson over him but Amad doesn't strike me as someone to hold the ball upfront alone (neither did Forson to be fair)
I really want him to get minutes and I'll be worried if he doesn't start getting significant minutes very soon

It must be a physicality thing. I am not sure. I feel like he will only give players a chance if they're physically talented as well. Forson, Mejbri, Garnacho, Kambwala and Mainoo are all physically robust.
Seeing the replay, Forson's rub opens up space for Mainoo for the goal. Not a run Amad would make naturally I think. Its am incredibly intelligent run that EtH should be praised for bringing him on for.
Edit: not correcting the rub run typo. It feels apt.
If Ten is building a transition team it makes sense for him to not see him as part of his plans.
If he can’t get a game ahead of Antony he’s got no hope
If he's building a transition team, Antony does not make sense. In fact Amad would make more sense than Antony given Antony's played his best games for Ajax, who hold the ball, and Amad's played his best for Sunderland who don't (as much).
I guess it's best to loan him out. Pointless sitting on the bench since he won't be given a chance to get match fitness/sharpness.
He maybe just not an ETH type player.

Maybe it was disciplinary action related to the Instagram like - wouldn’t be totally undeserved, in my opinion
Rashie goes on a drinking binge and gets the play in the next game. An emoji and your chances for playing is dead? Maybe Amad needs to start drinking instead of posting emojis.
I’m no fan of Rashford but I’d say he’s a bit more credit in the bank, so to speak
Thats so obnoxious.Just won and that's your first thought
He'll get his chances don't cry.
It seems unlikely if not impossible, if I understood correctly: Wasn’t Emojigate after the Newport game?
If so, he was already behind Forson in the pecking order at that point, let alone Rashford.
It is either he just doesn’t rate him at all, in which case we will sell him in the Summer, or he is being The Disciplinarian over something petty in which case he will freeze him for 2-3 months and will be back to playing 10-15 mins a game then.
TBF I don't rate ETH's ability to judge talent anymore. Of the 11 plus loanees, who have been a success? The success ratio is very poor regardless.
So why he isn't playing is quite par fr course. For amads sake I hope we get a new manager who is willing to invest in developing youth. Not just parking them on the bench or play them a few minutes here or there.
Proper pathways
He has given Garnacho and Mainoo a lot of time but they've almost left him no choice with their performances. He's a very strict disciplinarian, especially when it comes to younger players, so no surprise quite a few of them have fallen out of favor.
Amad has some natural talent and ability, he deserves a shot. He cannot be any worse than Antony who is now costing us goals as well as offering zero threat. its criminal and I would be pretty unhappy if I was Amad. It was reported earlier in season that a lot of disharmony in camp reflected unease at ETH's signings and insistence on playing likes of Antony regardless how poor he was.
Forson came on upfront, so I guess his superior physicality makes him more suitable to that.
Antony was fairly good last game and scored and assisted, so it made sense to get the nod again in this one. He was horrific today though, so hopefully Amad gets a chance soon.

We were playing Newport. He wasn't 'fairly good'. He played a square pass 10 yards under no pressure and passed into an empty goal. He couldn't get past league two defenders and carried no goal threat. even worse last night against better defenders, as expected. Lets have some objectivity here.
Antony's assist was a good run and then a cutback straight into Bruno's path that split two defenders. His goal was a first time reflex shot with his weak foot from a somewhat tight angle (the keeper was getting back up and covering some of the goal so it was hardly empty). Were they amazing pieces of play? Of course not. But they were hardly the tap-ins that you seem to be indicating. I think you're the one who needs to be objective.
Even without the goal and assist his game was better in that match. Not great, but better. Obviously it was against weak opposition, but if you've got a player that has been struggling for form and then he scores and assists in a game you have to give him a chance again the next game and hope that it's the start of him hitting form. It would actually be terrible man-management to go from that to then drop him behind a kid who has barely played. Antony isn't good enough longterm and we massively overpaid, but if we can get him back to last seasons form he can at least be useful.
However now that he's had that second game and been terrible, I am hoping ETH gives Amad a chance ahead of him next time.
The other day I was mocked by some deluded poster for suggesting that Amad should be unhappy that no matter how shit Antony performs that Antony will always be ahead of Amad in the manager’s eye. Nothing I saw in Antony yesterday suggests he should be preferred to Amad.
His control of the ball is second to none in this squad, only Martial has that similar velvety touch.
I am close to 100% sure he is better at keeping possession than Garnacho, Antony and Forson.
Fortunately Amad seemed very happy post match yesterday evening!
I think Garnacho's excellent at keeping the ball, especially in our own half he has composure.
Why would we slate it ? Pretty much everyone is in agreement here he should be getting game time
For playing him in the wrong position.
If you want to argue he should come on instead ot Antony, that's a different discussion. But not Forson in that moment.
Play the fecking kid!!!
Don’t know who’s wife he’s slept with, but surely he would he such a great option to use
Victory usually does have a positive impact on the mood of players. Supporters as well.
He must just not be training well. If he wasn’t going to get any minutes we’d have loaned him out. I feel like the manager is saying I’m not just going to fire you in, I don’t need to rotate, show me something. I understand people feeling aggrieved about Antony taking all “his” minutes but I assume the manager wants Amad to eventually hit the first team with proper intensity instead of 5 mins here and there and back out on loan again next year. This is just based on a hunch. If he can get a start or two before the end of the season and really grab the chance then the club have a big decision to make.
