If those of a Manchester United Persuasion has not already given up to last a sad end of the season, his news AmadLast month’s gym hitting was probably the last nail in the casket for every optimism.
Just a week of closing a transfer window that saw both Antony and Marcus Rashford departing, without immediately replacing the man, the news was infiltrated through it that every supporter would have been scared – Amad had hit with an injury.
In a few weeks, Ruben AmorimThe attack options were effectively with half, with the Portuguese coach confirming the moment the ivory driver is Is likely to lose the rest of the campaign After maintaining an ankle problem.
The 22-year-old has to be said, was Fotini Spark in an otherwise gloomy start to Old Trafford for former CP Boss employee, having provided moments away from Anfield and Etihad’s colleagues, while putting a hat-trick on the return victory over Southampton.
While the hot series of the former Atalanta has been cut hard, it has already proven exactly what an advantage may be on the forward Amorim regime.
Not only that, though, but it may also be gone Erik ten hag Looking a little red on the face …
Amad’s record under ten hag vs amorim
As Ten Hag took up United in the summer of 2022, few would expect that a young Amad would force his way into the first team image, with The signature of £ 19m Getting out of the back of a difficult six -month restriction for loan to Rangers, in which he Started just six games in all competitions.
The decision was made to allow the wing to test his hand in the league for the 2022/23 campaign, continuing to dazzle at the Light Stadium for Sunderland, afterwards net 14 times At that time under Tony Mowbray.
Frustratingly for all interested parties, injury suffered during the tour before In 2023, he stopped the hopes of the first Amad team in Manchester, though with ten HAG seemingly hesitant to develop light speed when it was appropriate and available in the series of the year.
Overall, the 120 kilometers per week Ace ended in 2023/24 with Only 12 appearances In his name in all competitions, although he also produces one of the decisive moments of the hectic kingdom of ten hag that Winner against Liverpool in the fa cup.
Although he was based on this brief impact on a shine on the tour before the season last summer – he also scored against Brighton in the first weeks of the campaign – it seems that Amad has never really won the Dutch confidence. Indeed, he Presented for just 36 minutes Throughout the last four games of the HAG Premier League.
In the margins under Ajax’s former boss, the 5 -foot sense of 8 has been ahead and center since, having already recorded more goals and helps under Amorim than he did under ten hags, despite fewer appearances.
Having seen the impact that the relentless talent has had in recent months, he does it even more with his head because he was never given a consistent possibility under the previous regime.

Even more enigmatic is why he ever found himself behind a particular Omari Forson at a stage – remember him?
The forgotten man who was in front of Amad
It was really a meteor rise to Amad by looking at what his status is months ago, let alone this time last year.
As journalist Samuel Luckhurst said in December, Wideman should have been “properly offended“With the suggestion from Ten Hag that Antonius was more worthy of himself because of the form of Brazilian training.
This clear command that also played away in Fenerbahce, when it was Antonius who was slowly introduced as United was chasing a winner. Amad, meanwhile, was called only a few minutes later when the £ 86 million flop was hit by an injury.
In fact, that moment threw the frustration over Amad’s handling of ten Hags, as was the decision to start Forson – then an academy’s asset in Carrington – in front of him for the 2-1 defeat to Fulham In February 2024.
As Luckhurst has stated since thenSuch a move was really “weird”, even if Forson had supplied a little help to Kobbie Mainoo on the bench a few weeks earlier, during the exciting 4-3 victory away at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
What was also enigmatic about this decision was that the 20 -year -old was approaching the end of his contract at Old Trafford, having begun to reduce a new deal and decide to depart for Monza in free transfer.
The English – who has registered 22 target items in 38 games On the U21 side of United – It’s a “excellent” talent, Greeting by Statman DaveBut his suffering this season has presented exactly what was wrong to hit him at the expense of Amad.
As is the case, Forson – who, like Amad, usually works on the sides – has Failed to score or assist For his new side, having delivered only seven first -team appearances for a team that is now a rock of Serie A. of his former colleague, in the meantime, he boasts 16 goals and helps On all fronts in 2024/25.
While the Monza man still has time to make the United Rue his inability to keep him, in current form, his free transfer exit does not appear too much from a blow – mainly with Amad shining so strongly now that Ten Hag is out of the picture.
