Expecting him to be replaced by Garnacho from the next game onwards but hopefully he can impress coming off the bench and make a case for himself to start games.

Until we’re able to control the midfield fully I agree that runners are best. Amad better playing of pivots high up the pitch.
I can see us playing some very good football when they get together. The type where we walk the ball into the net so to speak.
Garnacho back late from Copa America and is definitely ahead of Amad. I think its between those two for the RW position, and I think Rashford starts on the left.
He still has to win his position back.
I find it very strange that Amad finished last season as a starter, worked through preseason as a starter, and has begun this season as a starter, but people are still intent on going "poor overlooked Amad is only gonna be a cup player." What will make you happy?
I'm not a huge Guardiola fan but if he were United manager he would consider Amad as his number one winger. Rashford hides so as not to find himself in the position of taking risks, and Garnacho, despite a can-do attitude and the enthusiasm of youth, is too limited. Amad should without a shadow of a doubt be the lane player we invest in, because he has the talent. Erik should chain him up so he can gain confidence. But although this coach has qualities, he does not have the ability to choose his wingers well.
Some of y'all are just insane. Unhappy when
ETH picks Amad for starts. Unhappy when he doesn't.

My head hurts.
Honestly Rashford is the one deserving of replacing. Sadly AG is better on Amad's flank
I think (hope) Amad earns another start. I think Garnacho is our best attacker off the bench too.
I would like us to test Diallo on one side and Garnacho on the other but I doubt Rashford is going to the bench anytime soon. Maybe for a game or two to get some rest but not on a permanent basis.
We need a couple players up top who keep the ball. Amad and Zirkzee should both start.
I like the mix of Zirkzee, Amad, Garnacho, Bruno, Mainoo and Casemiro (or eventually Ugarte) in midfield.
It's a good blend of players who keep the ball and those who are a bit more aggressive in their attacking play. In theory it could work well.
Too much is made of the starting eleven...it's basically a group of 11-15 players every match. But we all need something to fill the time between matches so I get it.
Our manager isn't renowned for rotation.
Same. It's a pity we can't seem to generate sustained competion pressure for Rashford in our squad.
No mistakes and less erratic than Garnacho, but didn't do anything in offense either. All in all a quite anonymous game from him. You expect more from a starting attacker. Looked more dangerous in the preseason.
I doubt he'll start this weekend.

Neither Amad nor Rashford got much joy in the first half tbf as Fulham got back pretty quickly. When Garnacho came on the game started to get more stretched and him and Rashford started to get more space. However, we also saw that when both Garnacho and Rashford play we turn over the ball more, Amad on the other hand was very secure in possesion and contributed to that half hour period of us pinning Fulham back.
I also think if we are going to realistically give Amad a chance we can't just drop him because he had an okay performance in the very first game. He also had a good game vs City as well so I think he deserves to start again.
Agreed. If we are going to win away from home against our rivals and progress in the big games in Europe we need to get the balance better between control/recycling possession and risk taking from Bruno and Garnacho etc.
Apparently his mum has passed away. Condolences to the kid. Hope he stays strong.
Edit : Mods, not sure if this belongs here. Feel free to move it somewhere else as appropriate.

Oh man poor amad.
Prayers for him and his family.
Ah bollocks, RIP. Hope Amad's alright.
Wouldn't have blamed him for pulling out of squad because some things are bigger than football
RIP.
Terribly sad news. RIP.
RIPAh god that's awful for the poor kid. Hope everyone at the club rallies around him, being far from home and going through such a hard life event at such a young age.
R.I.P!!!
So judging by his latest post, it was his step mother not his biological mother. Still must have been very close to her as he calls her sister. Prayers for him and his family.
That’s awful
Ahh thats terrible news for the lad and the family. Hopefully he's given whatever time he needs, but at a point where he was hoping to nail down a starting place I hope he can be somehow assured it won't affect his chances if he (understandably) declares himself unavailable for a short while.
I think he’s saying she was the mum of his brother and sister, not that he considers her a sister.
Whatever the relation, it's horrible to lose someone you're close to.
Am I understanding something wrong he says she was her sister but also his brother's mother?
I thought he was saying she was his brother's and sister's mother (typo by him to say "sister" instead of "sister's"), and that she was his mother in the sense that he considered her one as he was close to her.
I don't know now, only just found out that Amad has a very unclear family background.
Whatever the case he's felt fit to post about it so RIP.

Go score a Hatrick for your mam and family today kid. Go show them how proud they must be of you, especially your mam.
Amad at his young age has already had such a hard upbringing. Sincere condolences to him.
Brighton 2:1 Man Utd
Awful performance even with the goal.
Just a marginally better version of Antony.
So many times he had the chance to put the ball into the middle of the pitch when we were on a break; but that would mean using his right foot. So he stops. Stands still. Passes the ball backwards and kills the move. Time and time again he did it.
