Gary Lineker pointed to Amad as a clear illustration of a persistent problem at Manchester United under manager Rúben Amorim.
Rúben Amorim named an unchanged starting XI as Manchester United traveled to the City Ground for their Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Both teams started aggressively, creating early chances, with Forest initially dominating the play.
Despite the pressure from the hosts, Manchester United took the lead when Casemiro scored a header from a corner, a decision that sparked controversy among Forest fans who felt the corner should not have been awarded.
Forest sought an equalizer before halftime but failed to break down United’s defense.
With ten minutes left, Amad delivered a brilliant first-time volley, leveling the score for Amorim’s team.
Amad nearly secured a late winner, but an impressive goal-line clearance by Murillo ensured the points were shared in an exciting game at the City Ground.
Although naturally a right winger, Amad has been played as a right wing-back since Amorim took charge. His adaptation has been positive, notably in his partnership with new signing Bryan Mbeumo on Manchester United’s right flank.
Gary Lineker: “Amad is a really good example of a major problem Manchester United still faces.”
Author’s summary: Amad’s versatility and key moments highlight both his individual promise and the ongoing tactical challenges at Manchester United under Rúben Amorim.
