'European medal before Man City' - Man United fans react as Amad reaches Europa League final

Supporters of Manchester United have expressed their pleasure at seeing loanee Amad reach the final of the Europa League with Rangers.

The Scottish club beat RB Leipzig over two legs to reach the final of the competition for the first time since 2008. Amad, however, failed to come off the bench and is yet to feature in the Europa League for his temporary club since moving in January.

His time north of the border has been far from smooth. The 19-year-old has started just four of the nine matches he has featured in and is yet to score since his debut goal against Ross County.

There have even been reports that Ibrox boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst wanted to allow Amad to end his loan spell early. However, since those rumours first surfaced, the teenager has managed to enjoy more minutes on the pitch, coming on as a substitute in his last three league games.

After Thursday’s 3-2 aggregate win over Leipzig, Amad posted on social media: “The others take us for a ride for six points but God allowed us to play the Europa League final. I love u Rangers.”

Amad has played nine times for United ’s first team. He featured against Young Boys in this season’s Champions League after netting his first senior goal for the club in last year’s Europa League tie against AC Milan.

United fans have kept a keen eye on the youngster during his spell with Rangers. And some have tweeted their excitement after his side advanced to the Europa League final.
