'He's class' - Gary Neville loves what Amad did after stunning Man United win vs Man City

Gary Neville was full of praise for the humility displayed by Manchester United forward Amad after his late winner in the 2-1 triumph over Manchester City on Sunday.

The 22-year-old was named in the starting XI ahead of Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho at the Etihad and popped up with an incredible late winner to secure a second Premier League win of the Ruben Amorim era. City had taken the lead in the first half when Josko Gvardiol climbed highest to connect with Kevin de Bruyne's deflected cross, though it was the Ivory Coast international who had the final say at the Etihad.

Moments before his winner, Amad - who started just four Premier League matches under Erik ten Hag before Amorim's arrival this term - moved the ball cleverly to win a penalty for his side, which Bruno Fernandes converted with ease. But it was in second-half injury time that he made the headlines as he pounced on Lisandro Martinez's clipped ball before dispatching it past Ederson with ease.

But despite writing his name into United folklore by securing a historic derby-day win, Amad made an effort to shake the hands of City boss Pep Guardiola and several of his players almost as soon as the full-time whistle was blown. And Neville, who was on co-commentary for the clash broadcast on Sky Sports, was taken aback by the modest approach of the United forward.

"He's class on the pitch, Amad, and he's class off the pitch," said Neville. "He's just gone and shook the hands of every City player in a genuine way."

It wasn't just Neville who was left
