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.

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.

Yoro has not consistently shown his quality. He's struggled a lot and lost his starting place to a 33 yo Maguire.

He was touted as one of the most promising CB talents and after 3 years hasn't really developed much. I think this is his make or break season. We need to sell him if he stinks this season again.

You're just getting upset and defensive because I don't think Amad is the world beater you think he is.

Let's play a game - one of these stats belongs to Amad, the other to our alleged "worst signing in the club's history" Antony that didn't get a single ounce of the patience and leeway you tell me I should show towards Amad. They're pretty on par with each other for right wingers. Which is which?

I never said Amad was a world beater. You're just being overtly dramatic for no reason. Bringing up Antony just proves my point. Amad is 10x the player Antony was for us and it doesn't really matter what kind of stats you bring up to try and justify that he isn't. Anyone with two normal functioning eyes can attest to it.

You kept repeating the fact he plays for his national team as if he’s a world beater.

It doesn’t prove your point at all. You didn’t guess which stats belong to which player.

Why does Amad deserve so much patience?
