Does anyone else think that Amad is only good when played at wing back. Can't remember a game where he played further forward and he played well.

It would help him a lot if we had a defence and midfield that pass quickly. Too often it's laboured passing, and so by the time he gets the ball, he is faced with one or two defenders and a defence in place.
Additionally, he usually only has one player to look for in the opposition penalty box, as the rest of the team are too slow to make up numbers.

Amad is quite predictable. He cuts inside and shoots, which isn't a bad thing; however, his finishing is hit and miss.
What is more concerning is how easily he slips at crucial times.
Salford7, I agree with your post.

You think Amad looks for someone to pass to in the box?
14 Apr 2026 20:12:33
How he is even considered to play ahead of Mbeumo is beyond me.

He is not good enough to be first team choice at wingback, fullback, or winger.
Great off the bench for final 30mins.
I think he was way better as a wingback than he is as a winger, yes. Does that mean we are playing the wrong formation... who'd have thought!
Our overall play, City and Arsenal aside, is dull, boring to watch, and predictable.
All excitement has been removed from the game, and we are back to a point where we were with Eth and Solskjaer, where the tv gets turned off for a period. Sad times.

I'd sell him to be fair. Cole Palmer would be a nice option there.

Agree Ken.
I think there is a place for Amad in the team, but it can't be at the expense of Mbeumo, who is our most dangerous player in the front three. Sesko, for me, is the weak link.
We always play better and more direct with Mbeumo through the middle, and Amad on the wing. It's no surprise we always underperform and look slow in games where Sesko has started.

He's a bit predictable. Someone needs to coach his decision making. He does the typical Manchester United player thing of cutting in and shooting when there is always a better passing option on.
However, there is a very good player in there. He was great for Amorim. He only recently signed a 5yr deal so I doubt he's going anywhere. He's a great back up for Mbeumo.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but Mbeumo has been pretty pants for a while. He started well, but has contributed very little for quite a while.

Agree with you, AJH.

Mbeumo has been played out of position, so his stats and performances dropped. So we move, then drop a 13 g/a right winger to play Amad, the 4 goal/assist winger. Of course, Mbeumo's levels dropped when he was played as a centre forward. He is not a centre forward. Dumbness all round.

Bang on, Ken.
