Amad had an impressive performance, scoring twice for his team, but unfortunately, he had to leave the game early due to an injury. This weekend, Manchester United will have Ruud van Nistelrooy as their interim manager for the last time as they face Leicester City.
In their previous game, United had a fantastic victory over Leicester, with a 5-2 score in the Carabao Cup, which was also van Nistelrooy's first game in charge. After that, they had a draw against Chelsea and a win against PAOK in the Europa League, and now the Dutchman is aiming to end his tenure with a bang.
Amad showed his potential for a starting position with a brilliant individual performance against the Greek champions, scoring two goals in the second half. He was positioned on the right side of the attack, alongside Alejandro Garnacho on the left, and Marcus Rashford coming off the bench in the second half. Although he had to leave the game due to a foot injury, he was back on the field without his boots after the final whistle, showing his determination to be available for the upcoming game.
Meanwhile, Mason Mount made his return as a substitute in Thursday's game, recovering from his recent injury setback. However, United still has a few players on the sidelines, such as Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire, who were not included in the latest England squad. Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are also working their way back from injuries and may feature for the Under-21 side before being considered for the first team.
On a positive note, Leny Yoro is making progress and could potentially play in Rubem Amorim's first game in charge against Ipswich Town on November 24. With the team's lineup still uncertain, it will be interesting to see how United will line up against Leicester this weekend.
Van Nistelrooy is expected to field a strong team, with only Matthijs de Ligt given a rest in their previous game. The predicted lineup for United includes Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot, Ugarte, Casemiro, Fernandes, Rashford, and Hojlund. The match will kick off at 2pm on Sunday and will not be broadcasted live in the UK, but can be followed through Metro's live matchday blog.
