Amad wasted no time in showing Manchester United that he is far more valuable than just a transfer makeweight.
There aren’t too many conclusions that can be drawn from a team’s opening pre-season match, but for Amad - the impressions were all positive. Second-half goals from Noam Emeran and Joe Hugill ensured the Red Devils got their summer work off to a win, beating Leeds United 2-0 in Oslo.
And while Mason Mount was the centre of attention, it was also Amad, who offered a tantalising glimpse into United’s future. The 21-year-old has been made to wait for his chance at Old Trafford, making just nine senior appearances in the three-and-a-half years since signing from Atalanta, in a deal which could ultimately cost the club £37million.
