Amad had a stellar performance, scoring two goals for Manchester United, but there was a moment of concern when he had to be substituted due to an injury. Interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy remains optimistic that the talented winger will be fit for his final game in charge.
The game started off slow for United, with a lackluster first-half against Greek champions PAOK in the Europa League on Thursday night. However, Amad provided a glimmer of hope with his impressive play. He scored both goals in the second half, first with a well-placed header from Bruno Fernandes' cross, and then with a brilliant individual effort that ended in a deflected shot into the corner.
Unfortunately, Amad had to be taken off in the 81st minute after going down and holding his foot. Mason Mount was brought on as a replacement, but Amad's return to the pitch at full-time, barefoot and applauding the fans, was a positive sign. He even conducted an on-pitch interview with TNT Sports.
The team will have to wait for further assessment on Amad's injury before their upcoming game against Leicester City on Sunday. Despite the uncertainty, van Nistelrooy believes there is a good chance that the young star will be able to play.
In a post-match press conference, van Nistelrooy spoke highly of Amad's character and work ethic, praising his dedication to improving his game. He also mentioned that the second goal, which showcased Amad's determination and skill, is a perfect representation of who he is as a player.
The 18-year-old winger has faced some ups and downs since his arrival at United, losing his place in the starting lineup during Erik ten Hag's final weeks in charge. However, Amad remains in high spirits and credits van Nistelrooy for his support and guidance.
The interim boss has been impressed by Amad's attitude and hard work, noting that he constantly seeks ways to improve his game. He regularly stays after training to work on his finishing, crossing, one-vs-one situations, and overall technique. This level of dedication and professionalism is a testament to Amad's motivation to reach his full potential.
Van Nistelrooy also praised Amad's second goal against PAOK, stating that it perfectly encapsulates the player's qualities. He fought to win the ball from the opposition, pushed through to get a shot on goal, and ultimately had the skill and precision to bend it past the goalkeeper. It was a goal that showcased Amad's tenacity, determination, and talent.
As Manchester United prepares for their upcoming games, fans are eagerly waiting to see more from Amad and his impressive abilities on the field.
