Manchester United fans are clamoring for Amad to be given an opportunity in the first squad after the youngster demonstrated his abilities in a training video posted to social media by the club.
This season, Amad has been injured.
The 21-year-old Ivory Coast winger suffered an injury in pre-season and has not appeared for United this season. However, the ex-Atalanta player has returned to Carrington to train.
United showed the forward sprinting past his man and scoring with flair during an attacking exercise in a brief clip posted to their Instagram account. Antony followed Amad in the drill, and while the former Ajax winger also scored, he took a little longer than Amad to do so.
Amad’s performance obviously thrilled his supporters. Here are some Instagram comments from Manchester United fans in response to the club’s latest post.
“Very excited for Amad at RW,” remarked @shabarikailash.
@joshsumoski commented, “Major difference between Amad and Antony.”
@iamjusticesima commented, “Amad made it look easy.”
@tabrez_abdullah said on Twitter, “Can’t wait for Amad to get a run in the team.”
“This confirms my point,” @sonshineiv.vii added. “Amad triumphs over Antony.”
Amad impressed at Sunderland last season after struggling during a prior loan spell with Rangers the previous season. He appeared in 42 games for the Championship club, scoring 14 goals and providing four assists. United fans will be hoping he is given the opportunity to shine once he has recovered to full fitness.
