More than three years on from his arrival in a £37m deal, Amad is in a similar situation to the one he started in at Man United.
In Everton's three Premier League away games this calendar year their highest possession total has been 35%. For once, Manchester United should have a measure of control in a league fixture.
Creativity will be of the essence against a team with a better defensive record. United's 2-0 win against Everton at Old Trafford last season flattered Sean Dyche's side and United's dominance was underpinned by Bruno Fernandes from a deeper role, with Marcel Sabitzer pushed higher up.READ MORE: The 21 United players who could leave this summer
There is maybe more method in McTominay assuming his potential super-sub status against Everton. United will have more of the ball and have to be more careful with it. Fernandes reined in his risk-taking at City and was noticeably shrewder on the ball. There are question marks over the futures of at least 21 senior players at United but Sir Dave Brailsford's audit of Amad may not be conclusive. The 21-year-old passed his assignment at Sunderland in the Championship, where United send players on loan whom they deem capable of making it back at base. But two ill-timed injuries two years apart have prevented a possible breakthrough.
Ten Hag started the winger in United's first two pre-season friendlies and he was a half-time entrant against Arsenal at the Met Life Stadium in New Jersey. He left on crutches and did not play again until December 30.
