Amad: Manchester United reach key decision on Ivorian’s future

According to TEAMtalk, United have no desire to part ways with Amad this summer. The report states: “Manchester United have dismissed suggestions that Amad could be allowed to leave this summer, with sources telling TEAMtalk the attacker remains a major part of the club’s long-term plans.”

The report insists that Amad is delighted with his role change under Carrick, adding: “We understand Amad has been delighted with the tactical change and has privately expressed his happiness under Carrick’s management, believing the new system better suits his natural strengths in the final third.”

The report also rubbishes talk of a move to the Stadium of Light, stating: “Man Utd insiders have laughed off any suggestion the club would consider letting him leave. Sources state Amad is viewed internally as one of the most exciting attacking talents at the club and somebody the Red Devils expect to build around moving forward.”

Amad signed a new deal with the Red Devils in January that keeps him at the club until 2030. The report from TEAMtalk goes on to add that it was a show of faith from the club, stating: “The decision was seen internally as a major show of faith in the attacker’s future importance at Old Trafford.”

“United’s hierarchy believe Amad still has significant room for development and are convinced his versatility, creativity and technical quality can make him a key figure for years to come.”

Carrick admires Amad

The report goes on to state that Carrick admires Amad, adding: “Carrick is also understood to be a huge admirer of the player and values his intelligence in possession, work ethic and ability to operate across multiple attacking roles.”

“Despite ongoing speculation surrounding United’s squad rebuild this summer, sources indicate Amad is firmly considered untouchable unless an extraordinary situation develops.”

“The feeling within the club is that the Ivory Coast international represents the type of young, technically gifted player United should be building around as they continue reshaping the squad.”

Final Thoughts

With Carrick now the frontrunner for the full-time job, and United expected to fight on four fronts next season, one can expect a lot more from Amad in the coming months. However, the Ivorian must improve his form in the final third or risk dropping down the pecking order.
