Amad’s comments have gone viral with Man Utd fans sharing their thoughts
Manchester United’s interim manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy, has expressed admiration for Amad after his impressive performance in a 2-0 Europa League victory over PAOK. Amad’s two goals earned him the Man of the Match award and highlighted his impact at Old Trafford, with Van Nistelrooy praising his “strong character” and commitment.
The right-winger, expected to be a key player under incoming manager Ruben Amorim, broke the deadlock in the 50th minute with a superb looping header from a Bruno Fernandes cross, helping to ease early tension. Amad then secured the win in the 77th minute by pressing high to regain possession, sprinting forward, cutting inside, and firing a powerful 20-yard shot into the net, celebrating with his trademark energy.
Fans React to Amad’s Post-Match Interview
In his post-match interview, a smiling 22-year-old Amad shared his excitement, saying, “It’s great. We’ve struggled to win in Europe for over a year, so today’s victory shows our quality on the field.” He added, “Scoring is always important. It hasn’t been easy finding the net this season, so I’m pleased to score twice today, but the team win is what matters most.”
Amad also commented on his celebrations, saying, “I love celebrating with the fans. It brings joy to everyone. Scoring makes me really happy!” Reflecting on his second goal, he credited training efforts, saying, “Our training focused on pressing, and I took my chance to press, win the ball, and score.”
Although Amorim’s arrival may affect Van Nistelrooy’s role, Amad emphasized the Dutchman’s value to the team, calling him “essential” for players, especially with his extensive experience as a top Premier League scorer. “Since he joined Manchester United, he’s been close to all of us, always supportive and available for advice,” Amad stated.
Van Nistelrooy Praises Amad’s Determination
Van Nistelrooy commended Amad’s hard work and focus, noting, “He fought to win the ball back, took the chance, and curved it beautifully past the goalkeeper. He’s a dedicated character who consistently shows up to training with a desire to improve.”
Van Nistelrooy also mentioned Amad’s eagerness to develop his skills, saying, “Every day, he’s asking for extra sessions on finishing, crossing, and one-on-ones. He’s keen on getting better and learning all he can to advance his career.”
With Ruben Amorim soon to step into his role as United’s manager ahead of the team’s upcoming match against Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich Town, Amad is one of the players looking to make a strong impression on
the new manager.
