Manchester United forward Amad has opened up on his mixed season as he delivered an honest message to fans after the win against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Rollercoaster season
United wrapped up a superb 2025/26 campaign with a dominant 3-0 win over Brighton at the Amex Stadium.
It was a comprehensive performance from Michael Carrick’s men, whose goals were scored by Patrick Dorgu, Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes.
Amad registered the assist for Mbeumo’s finish, which capped off a sensational team move. The assist was just Amad’s fourth of the season.
After a promising start that saw him feature heavily at right-wing-back in Ruben Amorim’s controversial 3-4-2-1 system, the Ivorian looked thoroughly comfortable in the position. However, Carrick’s appointment as Amorim’s replacement brought a return to his more natural right-wing role.
While many assumed that moving closer to goal would lead to greater output from Amad, his contributions somewhat dried up instead. Even his performances nosedived a bit and he found himself on the end of some criticism from a section of fans. Carrick had already expressed his satisfaction with Amad’s performances, so he would surely have loved his more threatening showing at the Amex.
Following the final whistle, Amad went on social media and seemingly admitted his performances hadn’t been up to scratch. He also pledged to do whatever it takes to rediscover his superb form.
Amad’s message
The 23-year-old wrote, “Another season comes to an end, amazing to be part of this great club.”
“Looking forward to being back where we belong and competing for all trophies next season. The ups and downs are part of our profession, but I will keep learning and working hard to give my best for this football club.”
He added, “Bruno Fernandes, congratulations on the 21 assists. You are a source of inspiration for all of us.”
“Once again, thank you to the most amazing fans in the world for your constant support throughout this season. Your support pushes us to always fight for this club.”
On top of his four assists, Amad contributed two goals in the 32 Premier League matches he played.

Amad is a great player! Assists and goals mean nothing if the team don’t win. Amad has played his part do many times for us…how about a statistic that records the noìumber of touches that lead to a goal or stop an attack???
