WHAT NEXT FOR AMAD AND MAN UTD?
The 22-year-old scored 11 goals in all competitions for United during the 2024-25 season and is expected to be a key player for manager Ruben Amorim moving forward. The Red Devils have another fixture against Hong Kong to take part in on Friday before the squad enjoys a break from playing duties until July, when their pre-season begins.
