Manchester United forward Amad continues to provide a spark for the team, and his qualities have been praised.<\/p>\n

Football is best watched with your eyes and not solely analysed via statistics. For instance you might glance at Amad\u2019s tally<\/a> of two goals and two assists and conclude that he is having a poor season.<\/p>\n

But if you actually watch him week to week, it is clear he is Manchester United\u2019s most dangerous attacking player<\/a> who causes problems for opponents for the full 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

Amad<\/a> must improve his attacking output, but a positive regression is surely coming.<\/p>\n

He was outstanding against Fulham in United\u2019s 3-2 victory<\/a>, with his performance earning rave reviews.<\/p>\n

MUTV pundits agree on Amad threat<\/p>\n

Speaking following Manchester United\u2019s win over Fulham<\/a>, MUTV analysts Danny Webber and Frazier Campbell picked out Amad\u2019s contribution to the victory.<\/p>\n

Webber praised his unpredictability, commenting: \u201cIt\u2019s horrible [to play against him] because he\u2019s so sharp. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe can go left, he can go right, he can get a shot away if he needs to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Campbell was in total agreement, saying that if he was playing against Amad then he would be urgently requesting help from teammates.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt\u2019s a nightmare for defenders. We was talking about it and said, if I was the full-back, I\u2019d be asking someone to come and help me, because if he goes this way, I need someone covering that side. If he goes that way, I need to cover there.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s it makes it really difficult for defenders to know which way he\u2019s going or how to defend him, because he can get shots off both sides or crosses off both sides. He is a real handful. Too sharp.\u201d<\/p>\n

Campbell\u2019s point about teams needing to double up on Amad is accurate \u2013 and this creates more space for his teammates to exploit.<\/p>\n

Amad is now worth ___________ <\/p>\n

Can Amad play on the left?<\/p>\n

Amad has been a major threat on Manchester United\u2019s right wing, but there is a possible opening on the left with Patrick Dorgu out injured<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If United are going to squeeze matchwinner Benjamin Sesko<\/a> into the team, Bryan Mbeumo could move to right wing and Amad might be asked to switch to the left.<\/p>\n

Asked about the possibility, Webber was unconvinced about moving Amad away from his best position.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe could but I think you put people where they\u2019re most comfortable, and he\u2019s better coming in.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s better on the right hand side. I think on the left hand side, he\u2019s not really the sort of type of winger who gets to the byline and whips crosses in. I feel that he\u2019s more potent when he\u2019s coming in off the right hand side. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe can [play on the left] but where are you gonna get the best out of him, I think on the right hand side.\u201d<\/p>\n
