"He has the X factor," Erik ten Hag said when asked why Amad was starting for Manchester United against Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The Ivorian was awarded his first competitive start in United colours in 887 days for the visit of the Gunners. His performance against the Londoners was then good enough to bag himself a second in the space of just four days when Newcastle United visited M16 on Wednesday night.
Amad marked the occasion with a goal and an assist to strengthen his case for starting the FA Cup final against Manchester City at Wembley next week. He was excellent in all areas of his game, once again living up to the pre-Arsenal billing Ten Hag had given him.

The Dutchman, ahead of Sunday's 1-0 defeat to the Gunners, told MUTV: "He has the X factor. Over the last few months, he has given so much energy in training, given quality in training and has made good progression. He deserves a chance."
Despite being unable to stop United from falling to a 14th Premier League defeat of the season against the Gunners, Amad produced an eye-catching performance. He was excellent on the ball, producing plenty for Arsenal's defenders to think about.
It was the same story against Newcastle, using the ball effectively and offering some much-needed creativity on the right-wing. No player on the pitch on Wednesday night was more worthy of a goal than him.
His left-footed rocket that put United 2-1 ahead marked his first Premier League goal. He has now scored as many as Antony has in the league this season.
