Amad sends seven-word Man United message after Ruben Amorim changes his position
Manchester United winger Amad has led the post-match reactions following the 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town in Ruben Amorim's first game in charge.
The Ivorian played a key role in United's goal as he burst down the right wing crossing for Marcus Rashford who poked home ahead of Arijanet Muric. It was a dream start for United under the guidance of the new Portuguese head coach, netting the first goal of his tenure in just 80 seconds.
However, the Tractor Boys hit back on the stroke of half-time through a piece of individual quality from Omari Hutchinson. The former Chelsea talent, who signed on a permanent basis at Portman Road in the summer, cut inside and curled a left-footed into the top corner past Andre Onana.

The second-half would have left Amorim with more problems than solutions after a disappointing showing in his first game in charge. The Cameroon shot-stopper was on top form to keep Ipswich's attackers at bay with the newly-promoted side looking for their first home win in the Premier League since ending their 20-year hiatus from England's top-flight.
On Instagram, Amad posted: "Trust the process, we will grow up." The new head coach was full of praise for the 22-year-old after his showing, playing as a right wing-back as part of a new-look system which the former Sporting boss will be looking to implement.
"I think he was very good," Amorim lauded. "[In] these three days he has improved so much defensively. But also the opponent that he had all the time was the left-back. So it is like a winger that follows the left-back.
"It is so much easier, I think, because he doesn't have to think: 'Can I jump in the centre-back?' He just follows his man and goes back with the same man. It is like man-to-man in that aspect."
Mason Mount made his return to the squad following injury and was a late substitute as United pushed to snatch the three points. The 25-year-old posted a series of pictures to his Instagram story in two wordless posts.
Onana followed suit with a picture of him on the ground looking despondent, while Casemiro shared a story from the official United account celebrating his 100th appearance for the club.
