Erik ten Hag listened to Manchester United fans and started Amad against Fulham. The youngster was brilliant in pre-season and delivered another strong performance against Manchester City in the Community Shield, so it would have been harsh to drop him.

Amad was spotted screaming at his teammates for the ball at Wembley and he did the same at Old Trafford on Friday night, urging the ball to be played down right wing.

When Amad finally received the ball, he showed what he can do, bursting into the Fulham box and going down in between two defenders.

The winger appealed for a penalty but referee Robert Jones wasn't interested and that only encouraged Amad to pick himself up and go again.
