Manchester United defeated Aston Villa 2-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday to round off a miserable season. The Red Devils ended 15th in the Premier League with the three points.

Amad was a very dangerous attacking midfielder in the first half, but after being moved to the wingback position in the second half, he took center stage.

Naturally a winger, the Ivory Coast international hugged the touchline and created the space that gave United the lead.

The game’s first goal was scored by the 22-year-old, who rose to the top and put his header beyond the Villa goalie. He was subsequently awarded a penalty, which Christian Eriksen, who was leaving, took advantage of.

The show’s main attraction was Amad.

In addition to creating two chances and making two crucial passes, he finished the game with a 92 percent passing accuracy. One of the Ivorian’s two shots missed its mark.

He had one pass into the final third and eight touches in the Villa penalty area. Remarkably, the former Atalanta star finished all of his long balls and his lone cross reached its intended goal.

His defensive diligence was most outstanding; he completed one block and one clearance while winning every tackle he attempted.

He recovered the ball six times and executed four defensive plays. Additionally, Amad prevailed in two ground fights (all statistics courtesy fotmob).

Is Amad Amorim’s ideal wingback?

Since they are responsible for providing the width required to stretch the pitch, talented wingbacks are essential to Ruben Amorim’s system. Those expectations are sometimes too much for a traditional fullback to handle.

Despite his occasional raw appearance, Patrick Dorgu is undeniably aware of the demands of the role, typically plays at a high level, and enjoys hugging the touchline.

Unlike Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui, Amad did the same in the second half. It will be fascinating to watch if Amorim makes a permanent shift in position.

This explains the 20-time English league champions’ summer transfer request for two attacking midfielders.
