Speaking about his first appearance for United in the Europa League against Real Sociedad, Amad said: “I called my mum after the game and she was in tears and said she couldn't believe it.”

“It was an incredible feeling for me because playing at the highest level only happens once in my life.”

“Mom was really proud of me. She always believed I would make it to the top, but she always told me to stay humble, work hard and never give up.

“When she saw me play for those eight minutes or so, it was all about her. We couldn't believe it.”
