Gary Lineker Points to Amad as Example of Manchester United's Ongoing Issue

Gary Lineker highlighted Amad as a clear example of a persistent problem at Manchester United under manager Rúben Amorim. Amorim named an unchanged starting XI as Manchester United traveled to the City Ground for a Premier League match against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Match Overview

Both teams started aggressively, creating early chances, with Forest initially having the upper hand. Despite Forest's pressure, Manchester United opened the scoring through Casemiro’s header from a corner that many Forest fans disputed.

Forest continued to push for an equalizer before halftime but failed to score. After the break, Nottingham Forest came out strongly and quickly leveled the match. Morgan Gibbs-White headed the ball past United’s goalkeeper Senne Lammens, and just 39 seconds later, Nicolò Savona scored to put Forest ahead.

Amad’s Impact

The game became more open with opportunities for both sides. With ten minutes remaining, Amad delivered an impressive first-time volley to equalize for United. He nearly scored a late winner, but a crucial goal-line clearance by Murillo ensured the match ended in a draw at the City Ground.

Player Role and Performance

Originally a right winger, Amad has been playing as a right wing-back since Amorim’s tenure began. Despite the position change, he has found success by linking well with summer signing Bryan Mbeumo along United’s right flank.

"Gary Lineker has highlighted Amad as a great example of a problem that still persists at Manchester United under Rúben Amorim."
"Amad produced a superb first-time volley to bring Amorim’s side back on level terms."
