Amad Shines as Manchester United’s New Untouchable in 3-0 Win Over Southampton
Manchester United’s league campaign found new life with a 3-0 win over Southampton, thanks to goals from Matthijs de Ligt, Marcus Rashford, and Alejandro Garnacho.
Despite an early challenge from Southampton, Erik ten Hag’s tactical decisions paid off, with Christian Eriksen’s improved set-piece delivery and effective substitutions sealing the game comfortably.
However, the standout performance came from Amad, who did not score but significantly influenced the game.
Amad was initially dropped for the Liverpool match in favor of Garnacho and Rashford, but circumstances saw him start against Southampton, where he seized the opportunity. His intelligent play, combining well-timed passes, dribbling, and off-the-ball movement, made him the focal point for his teammates.
Amad made history by creating six chances, the youngest United player to do so since Anthony Martial in 2016, further cementing his role as a key player.
His performance comes as a refreshing solution to United’s long-standing right-wing issues, proving that despite doubts over his readiness for a regular starting spot, he is thriving.
Moving forward, the challenge will be maintaining this level as opponents begin to target him more closely. However, for now, Amad has truly announced himself as an “untouchable” player in Ten Hag’s squad, and his rise is a story of patience and promise realized.
