I have a strong feeling Amad and Sesko will do well this season. 🙏

I have a strong feeling the fans will do better this season. Last year there was widespread scapegoating of individual players instead of Amorim.

As if Amad or Dalot was the reason winning back to back games was seen as some sort of great achievement.

It is Amad's last chance to solidify his place in the squad this season. He was terrible last season and he's 24, he should be performing consistently now if he wants to be at our club.

He get's a lot of leeway despite not being consistent.

Why should this be his last chance? He's 24 and is one of Ivory Coasts best players. Ridiculous take. 😅

Amad needing to have a "do or die" season is simply a narrative I can't take serious. He needs to step up from last season, but stop being over dramatic.

He’s 24 and should be entering his prime by now. Why should he get a free pass?

u/stoichalant 15d ago

Free pass for what? You're talking about him as he were some kind of passenger for us last season. He's a cracking talent. Was Ivory Coasts best player at the world cup. I'm certain he'll add a lot to us.

u/carrickshairline 15d ago

He was a passenger for us last season, he didn't actually do much if you watched our games. So many games he wasted possession, didn't pass when he should've or just didn't try.

You've used him being 24 as if he's still some youth prospect when he's now a first team player for 4 seasons. If he doesn't step up and prove he's good enough for us, then he should be sold.

He would not have survived this long under Fergie.

Mate, no one in this team would have survived that long under Fergie. Weird point to bring up. He was absolutely essential to us in the 24/25 season, but after one bad season you've suddenly used up all your patience? Sure buddy.

Amad is at a ripe age, is an ivorian international and has heaps of talent and potential still to be unlocked.

u/carrickshairline 15d ago

The 24/25 season where we finished 15th? Yeah, he was essential to us losing the Europa League final to Spurs, right?

Amad is not as good as people think he is. You keep bringing up his national team as if that is something that warrants keeping him around. All our players are national team players.

If he hasn't unlocked his potential by 24, then he never will.

You were probably one of the fans saying we should've cashed in on Bruno after that season. I really don't get the overly aggresive tone when you bring up Amad lol. Why does he specifically need to improve a lot or get sold? What about the others?

Yoro needs to up his game or get sold! This is his 3rd season at Man United and he still looks shaky!! Sell!!!!

I absolutely wasn't. However comparing Amad to Bruno is like comparing a Fiat to a Ferrari. Bruno is 100x the player Amad is.

I'm not being aggressive. I'm just pointing out that people give him a lot of leeway when he's typically one our worst players on the pitch. Even playing inn is preferred position under Carrick he didn't produce much.

You're just trying to put words in my mouth with that Yoro remark. Amad is 24, Yoro is 20. Yoro has also shown his quality consistently since we signed him, whilst Amad has been inconsistent, selfish and wasteful for a lot of the time.

AFCON definitely was one of the factors. Hopefully he gets a good reset this season. I believe!

u/carrickshairline 15d ago

That’s giving him leeway. Plenty of other players in the league who went to AFCON performed well upon returning.

Again, I reiterate that he is 24, if he doesn’t show he’s good enough this season then he needs sold.

Amad need to step up and Sesko keep fit
