Ronaldo'esque debut, can't wait for more. Needs to work on his hair.

I'd say he is a professional and takes responsibly for his performance rather than making up nonsense
Did well in the first couple of minutes after he came on but barely got the ball again after that. I think we'll see the best of him when he's playing with the proper first team players
2-3 years away from being ready. He looks a huge talent though.
No way. He's first choice next year.
The sloth pace the game was played at didn't help him or Shola but he had a couple of nice moments.
Captain against Chelsea.
Based on what?
Looks like he needs a loan imo, very likely too good for the under 23's but looks no where near ready for our first team
Send him to a good club in Germany and I expect he'd rip it up

Gut feeling, based on what I've seen among other things. He's a natural. He just has IT.
I don’t think I’ll be watching the highlights from this game anytime soon 
I think he’s very likely to get sub minutes in the league this season because it looks like he can beat a man in congested areas. Later on in the game against tired legs that can make all the difference for us and he gets his development minutes. He looks direct so when we play with some Intensity he’ll hopefully be able to show what he can do. I think he’ll break through properly next season but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him involved in some late goals or assists before the end of the season.

I actually agree, the way he moves and touches the ball is special. We haven't seen it too much obviously and I don't want to get carried away but I do see him as our RW, probably next season.
Nice to see a reasoned response for once in this thread, congratulations you took the red pill, unfortunately others opted for blue.
Poor from Ole not to start him. By the time he was put on the game was in the bin.
Think he looks like a brilliant talent but I definitely think he's a bit further away than most people would care to admit. He is absolutely tiny. And not wirey small where he can handle himself physically despite being short. He just seems like a kid physically still, because, well, he is still a kid. The talent will see him through so im sure he gets some sub appearances and some games next season, but I don't expect him to be a key player next year like Rashford was when he broke through right away. Think he'll be used cautiously unless he really develops quickly from a physical perspective.
Really should have started, obviously wouldnt have been 'unfair' on him. Had a decent amount of time on the pitch but barely got the ball and the tie was dead in the second half so hard for him to impress
It's difficult to tell anything from that game because when you play someone with little experience in a team that has subbed in players with scarcely more quality and/experience then it's always going to be difficult. Amad playing in front of AWB and Fred is monumentally different than playing in front of Williams and Tuanzebe. That has to be factored into this. This is also why people want Amad to start games like these; so that they can play with the best group of players and not the inferior group.
He is nowhere near ready.
People saying he is nowhere near ready cause he came on in a game the team wasn't even trying to do anything.
The simple truth is we haven't seen enough either way.
He is clearly very skillful and has a great workrate. So the only question is if his lightweight frame will hold him back too much at the start. With that it's too early to say. There are plenty of players who can thrive without billing up.

Thought he was poor apart from one dribble and 1-2 decent passes.
There was one instance where he took a poor touch from a simple pass and gave the ball away leading to a counter. A couple of times I thought he gave the ball away too easily. I think a couple of misplaced passes as well, but don't really remember them clearly.
Looks like he can dribble well in tight spaces but fairly lightweight and not ready for PL yet.

Playing in front of Williams and Tuanzebe (who doesn't even play there......ever)? No, he's nowhere near ready.
Can't draw any conclusions in the time he was on. La Real were defending deep and setup to contain us and we also didn't take any risk which meant Amad didn't get many touches. But I did like how he was shoved in the back in one particular passage of play and still got his pass off. His strength is good for a small player.
Nothing special at all. Plenty more chances to come though.
I’d like to see him in a team that isn’t patched together.
He doesn’t look ready for regular first team selection. He’s young and small. He may progress very quickly and break through next year.
Ole is doing the right thing in giving him a few mins here and there; it’s pretty clear we have high hopes for the lad and he’s closer to being ready than most of the other 23s.

This is why I wanted to start him.
we now don’t know if he’s good enough or not, we just know he wasn’t involved in the game due to too many subs and a dead tie with only 1 side trying.
to me he looked ready, just took a few nervous touches here and there but was pressing nicely, made a few nice passes. His first game at old Trafford so not surprising.

I love his work rate. He just needed more touches tonight.
Give it a go in the stadium
Yep much like we took a punt on Diallo after failing to sign Sancho. Back then we almost certainly would have been a better side with Ronaldinho in his prime between 2003-06.
Same here mate, we've fecked about for too long with duds who aren't wingers like Mata and Lingard on the right over the last 8 years. And it's cost us, even now we're shoehorning the likes of Rashford and Greenwood into the position instead of just buying someone who's comfortable there.
Age isn't an issue no but experience is, Diallo right now is not ready to be a first team player in my opinion and might not be for a few more years yet. We need someone to come in like Bruno and be a top player right away. I explained the Mengi comparison.
Looks about the level of Obertan and that's being generous.
Let's see who bites

Well the teams been doing that for years mostly because we haven't had anyone decent on the right for so long.
People need to be patient, he's a kid with no experience of senior level football, and people think he should've started that game?
I guess they didn't notice Greenwoods defensive contribution in the first half.
Yeah, feck it, let's start him, at least we'll be able to slate him after we concede due to AWB being left isolated.

After seeing the replies I think i might die if i do it in the stadium
Don't compare Obertan to a teenager. Obertan was the best RW we had after Ronaldo.
Reading the thread, it almost impossible to figure out if Amed is going to be the GOAT or a dud. ''He should have started, a mistake by Ole'' to ''he is years away from being a starter''!
I'm happy enough to see him being given a chance. I mean what do you expect him to do in a match like that? to score 3 goals? it's unfair to rate him based on that match.
Fixed that for you

Couldn't disagree more.
Right now he is on Greenwoods trajectory or a little better.
