Amad has signed a new five-year contract with Manchester United.

The 22-year-old has been in talismanic form under head coach Ruben Amorim, scoring the winner in the Manchester derby and the equaliser against Liverpool at Anfield.

United regarded Amad as an integral squad member ahead of the start of the season and the right winger has developed into one of their most pivotal players, scoring six goals in 28 games this term.

In a statement, Amad said: “I am really proud to have signed this new contract. I have had some incredible moments with this club already but there is so much more to come. I have huge ambitions in the game and I want to achieve history at Manchester United.

“I have learnt so much since arriving here four years ago; I am very grateful to the coaches and staff who have helped me to develop, and to the fans for driving me forward every day.

“It has been a difficult season for everyone, but I fully believe that we are on the right path and the future is going to be really special. I am ready to give everything to help the team and make our supporters proud again.”

United technical director Jason Wilcox said: “Everyone is delighted with Amad’s development; his quality on the ball, versatility and determination makes him a key part of the future of Manchester United.

“The best years of his career are ahead of him, and we all look forward to helping Amad to reach his immense potential and achieve success at the club in the coming seasons.”

Amad is only the fourth player to sign a new contract since the start of last season after Jonny Evans, Tom Heaton and Bruno Fernandes.

United triggered the one-year extension in Harry Maguire's contract last week to tie him to the club until 2026.
