Manchester United have begun their pre-season fixture schedule in positive fashion with victory over rivals Leeds United and two players in particular caught the eye of club legends Henning Berg and Ronny Johnsen.
Manchester United might make unexpected Amad decision during pre-season opportunity
29.06.2023 - 06:21 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
It remains to be seen whether there are any new faces when Manchester United return for pre-season training at Carrington in the next week or so, but there will at least be one player who will feel like a new signing.
After his electric breakthrough campaign at Sunderland, Amad returns to his parent club with designs on a first-team place for this season and showing the talent that convinced United to agree a £37million deal for him nearly three years ago.
For much of his time at the club that investment, which included a £21million initial fee, with the rest in add-ons, has looked a bizarre one. He started brightly with a Europa League goal against AC Milan at an empty Old Trafford, but after that struggled to show why most of Europe’s elite were tracking his progress at Atalanta.
A loan move to Feyenoord for the 2021/22 season fell through due to a poorly timed injury and when he joined Rangers midway through that season, the intensity and physicality of the Scottish Premiership proved too much for him.

Amad scored five minutes into his debut but in his second game, he was hooked at half-time at Celtic Park and never recovered. He just wasn’t ready for an Old Firm game at that stage.
But the move to Sunderland last season has reinvigorated the 20-year-old. The Black Cats’ decision to appoint Tony Mowbray as Alex Neil’s successor could be a turning point in his career, given Mowbray’s faith in youth.
Either playing on the wing or centrally, Amad scored 13 goals in 37 appearances in the second tier and at times looked a cut above the Championship. His strikes were often spectacular.
So he returns to United having been told he will
