Amad has insisted he wants to make ‘history’ with Manchester United after his starring role in Thursday’s win over PAOK.

The 22-year-old headed in United’s opener against the Greeks before he produced a stunning goal to make sure of their win, curling a brilliant shot into the far corner of the net.

It was the perfect way for the winger to introduce himself to incoming boss Ruben Amorim, who starts work on Monday. Amad had been somewhat unhappy with previous boss Erik ten Hag’s use of him before the Dutchman’s sacking.

But the attacker is relishing a fresh start under Amorim, especially after Thursday night. And he is hopin gto be able to remain at Old Trafford for many years to come.

“I always try to do my best, even when I am not starting. I’m every time focused, and everyone want to play. We are here to play. And when you don’t play, you have to give your best. Today, I try to give my best,” Amad said.

“And the most important thing was to win because it’s been long time, we didn’t win in Europe so it was nice to win today. I am excited to have him [Amorim] in this team and I can’t wait to work with him.

“Everyone is here to give his best, and sometimes it’s good. So today we have to enjoy together, and we are ready for the next step. I know I was Player of the Month in August, but I have moved on.

HAVE YOUR SAY! Should Ruben Amorim make Amad a key player at Manchester United? Comment below.

“I am focused for now, for future and give my best for the shirt and get this team back on top again. I’m happy to be here. I’m happy to play for this club, and yeah, I want to stay here for a long, long, long time to make history with this club.”

Amorim starts work on Monday, with the coach granted the international break to introduce himself to his new players. And interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy believes Amad can be a key player under the Portuguese coach.

“He made a difference for us today because of his goals,” Van Nistelrooy told TNT Sports. “But he was very sharp. I think, in the first half, he was one of the few who was at his level. Well done to him, good game.

“His first goal was a good goal and a good Bruno assist. Amad made his own goal [for the second goal], Christian [Eriksen] tried to cross it and then he came inside on his left and getting it in the far post was excellent.

“He won his own duel and took the shot for the goal – a good goal. He has been incredible actually in training, he was never affected by not playing. He always trains well and is asking me to do more. That’s an example.”
