Erik ten Hag has found a solution to Manchester United's problem position after win vs Fulham
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.

Alejandro Garnacho was named on the bench again to accommodate Amad on the right wing and he patiently waited to be introduced to the game in the second half.
With Garnacho waiting and primed to make his mark, it felt like Amad had to dazzle against Fulham to ensure he retained his starting role against Brighton next weekend and although he didn't score or assist, he might have done enough to make the starting side at the Amex Stadium.
Whether Mason Mount has done enough is questionable. The midfielder started as the No.10, which is his preferred position, for the second game in a row and looked better when United were out of possession, which has been a regular observation during his time in Manchester.
Chelsea fans found a tweet about Mount looking energetic and fist-pumping the crowd when it was half-time and they mocked the post, suggesting that's all he is good for.
