I’m happy to score again” while emphasizing his commitment to the club, adding, “I’m here to do my best for Manchester United”.
Amad also highlighted his dedication, remarking, “I always try to do my best, even when I am not starting. We are here to play. And when you don’t play, you have to give your best. Last night as always, I try to give my best”.
Looking ahead, Amad expressed enthusiasm about working under newly appointed coach Ruben Amorim, saying, “I can’t wait to work with him! I’m very happy to have Amorim as new coach.”
