It was always going to be difficult for Amad to live up to the hype that accompanied his move to Manchester United two years ago.
As the club went in desperate search of a new right wing addition on deadline day, United committed to paying as much as £37million for the Atalanta winger, despite the fact he only had 76 minutes of first-team football under his belt.
Firstly, he was coming from the club credited with having the best academy in Italy, and although the overall fee for a deal remains massive, the up-front fee was still a reasonable €21m, with up to €20m in add-ons to possibly follow.
