Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes hailed "unstoppable" Amad after he added to the crisis currently engulfing Manchester City. On the day that Ruben Amorim dumped Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho from his squad, the young Ivory Coast winger came up trumps for his new boss, winning a penalty and scoring a late winner at the Etihad.
United skipper Fernandes scored the penalty his team-mate won after Josko Gvardiol have scored the opener in the first-half, a goal which looked set to give Pep Guardiola a much-needed victory when the clock hit 85 minutes. But Amad came to the fore late on to turn the game on its head and give United a huge boost of their own, leaving Fernandes to declare: "He has been doing well, he has been doing great things and there is a still a lot to come from him. He showed again today, he is always alive. That is why he gets the penalty, why he gets the goal.
"He has been brilliant. When he is like this he is unstoppable. I just want him to keep working, that is what he has been doing. It is great what he did today but I am sure he can do this every week. We want this week in, week out. He is now getting his chances, deservedly.".
Amad has been one of the shining lights of the current season for United and has really impressed Amorim with his work ethic since the Portuguese replaced Erik ten Hag. He added: "We wanted to win this game. It was not easy. In the second half we pressed good, we wanted to win and we showed today that we can win any game.
