Winger picked up knock in pre-seasonSpent several months on the sidelinesReturned to action at the end of 2023WHAT HAPPENED?
The 21-year-old winger was hoping to enjoy a breakthrough campaign at Old Trafford in 2023-24, having caught the eye while on loan at Sunderland last season. He was, however, to pick up a knee problem during a summer tour of the United States – leaving him stuck on the sidelines for several months.

Amad is now back in action and has told United’s of how South American colleagues kept him motivated during a lengthy rehabilitation programme: “I can come back stronger. Come back with more motivation to help the team because we need to win every game. United need to win every game. We are a big, big team so everyone needs to fight for the team. So I come back stronger, ready and motivated. My programme was to come in every morning to have treatment and, after that, to go to the gym to make the work on my upper body and legs. That's what my plan was for when I was injured. Lisandro Martinez helped me a lot because he was injured also. Every time, when we are at training, he spoke with me and said: 'It's nothing, Amad. Keep training hard'. Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro also. They are good leaders. Everyone helped a lot. The physios helped me a lot. So now, thanks God, I am back with the team. I am very happy.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Amad stepped off the bench for United in their 2-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest on December 30, with those minutes his first for the Red Devils in over two years. The intention now is to earn more opportunities under Erik ten Hag – with fellow forwards Antony and Marcus Rashford struggling for a spark.

There have been suggestions that Amad could be loaned out again with the January transfer window now open – as he is linked with teams in the Premier League and Championship – but he will not be linking up with Ivory Coast for their Africa Cup of Nations campaign on home soil.
