Rio Ferdinand has insisted that Amad is not ready to be part of Erik ten Hag's squad next season - just 18 months after he tipped the youngster to become a "world beater" and likened him to Cristiano Ronaldo.
The excitement surround Amad was palpable when Manchester United shelled out £37.2million to bring the attacker to Old Trafford from Atalanta back in January 2021. However, the winger has clocked up just nine senior appearances for since then and was farmed out on loan to Rangers in the January transfer window.
Amad struggled to make much of an impression at Ibrox either, where he netted three times in 14 appearances; leading Ferdinand to claim that the 20-year-old isn't good enough to play a part under Ten Hag this year when it was put to him that the Ivory Coast international could be a solution to United's woes on the right wing.
