Manchester United youngster Amad opens up on relationship with Erik ten Hag after Liverpool win

Amad said that Erik ten Hag 'believes in him' after scoring Manchester United's matchwinning goal against Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon.

Although United made plans to keep Amad beyond the closure of the January transfer window, when he could have been sent on loan, his minutes have been limited.

He was an unused substitute in the fourth round of the FA Cup against Newport County in January and he's been forced to watch on as others, like Omari Forson, have been given opportunities, but he got a chance against Liverpool at the weekend and grabbed it with both hands.

Amad was introduced to the game with five minutes remaining and he was on the pitch for a dramatic ending, which saw United claim a 4-3 victory in extra-time.

The winger scored the matchwinner in the 120th minute and he revelled in the moment when speaking to the Manchester Evening News and other journalists in the mixed zone.

“It was an unbelievable day for me," Amad said. "I want to celebrate this moment with my family and the fans, who supported us all game. I think today was one of the best games for United and I scored a last-minute goal against Liverpool. It was an unbelievable moment for me.

“It is very special for me because it was my dream to play for United. I was in Sunderland last season and I came here to wait for my chance. To score my second goal for United was very important for me.

"We need to stay focused for the next game against Brentford. For me, the most important thing was to win today.”
