Manchester United are rarely shy in forking out a staggering transfer fee, but even the Red Devils raised eyebrows when they announced the signing of unproven teenage talent Amad back in January of 2021.

Then-manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could barely contain his excitement and discussed Amad at length before the switch had actually even been confirmed, with the Norwegian waxing lyrical over the wide-forward.
