“As a club, we have followed Amad for a number of years and having seen him myself, I think he is one of the most exciting young prospects in football,” United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said.
“It will take time for him to adjust, but his speed, vision and fantastic dribbling ability will help him transition.
“He is a player with all the basic attributes that are needed to be an important player for Manchester United for years to come.”
