Amorim identifies area for Amad to improve
Ruben Amorim says he wants to see Amad play closer to the opponent’s goal, after his decisive second-half performance in Plzen.
Having largely been deployed as a right wing-back under the Portuguese so far, our no.16 was fielded as one of the two attacking midfielders for the 17:45 GMT kick-off in the Czech Republic.
After a quiet first half, and the Matej Vydra goal that surprisingly put the hosts ahead, Amad was one of the more impressive players on a difficult pitch at the Doosan Arena.
The Ivorian created chances for Marcus Rashford and Mason Mount, and played an eye-catching role in Rasmus Hojlund’s equaliser, nutmegging Plzen captain Lukas Kalvach in the build-up to the goal.
