'We'll find a solution' - Ruben Amorim urges Man Utd to hand new deal to sizzling Amad ahead of contract expiry

Premier League

Manchester United

Southampton

<p>Amad swapped Atalanta for United in 2021 for a deal that could rise to £37.2 million ($47.1m) but the Ivorian has only really got a chance to shine in their first team in 2024. As his importance grows, the calls to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/amad-up-ruben-amorim-contract-talks-diallo-man-utd/bltfcbb90996a269358#cs5fe6cb2b918c00fa" target="_blank">tie the 22-year-old down to a new deal have increased</a>, with the ex-Sunderland loanee's contract expiring in 2026 if a one-year extension trigger comes into effect. Now, new Red Devils head coach Amorim has made it clear he wants Amad to extend his stay at Old Trafford. The Portuguese also spoke about his importance to the team.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>When asked about a possible contract extension for Amad, Amorim told reporters: "I think he wants to stay and we want him to stay, so that is clear and we will find a solution."</p><p>"Yes [I think he can play in different positions]. I think it's one of the great advantages of Amad, for me. He’s very good playing in that position but also playing between the lines because he has good control and he seems faster with the ball than without the ball. So it's something that he has and he is capable of playing in both positions. And he can play in different systems. So in the in the future, we will play in a different system, maybe. So it's that kind of player that we need in team."</p><p>When asked about why he has been picked at wing-back of late, Amorim added: "Because of his left foot, it's sometimes in that position, the way he receives the ball, if you are right footed, sometimes you don't have the space to come inside. But we have, for example, [Noussair] Mazraoui and [Diogo] Dalot can go inside because they are fast and strong with the ball. But we chose Amad to have one against one outside. And that is very important to break some pressures and especially high pressures, and he has that ability. And then in that position, you need to to have good physicality. Good physicality is not the size, but he can run. And that is a key point in that position. So you try to choose players that you can put in that position and then the technical characteristics are perfect for him."</p><p></p>

WHA AMORIM SAID

<p>Amad has scored three goals and bagged five assists in all competitions for United this season and is getting more and more regular first-team minutes. Some see him as a key part of the club's future, therefore, retaining him is, arguably, of the utmost importance.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>While contract talks with Amad and United will continue, the youngster will hope to inspire his team to victory in a crunch Premier League clash with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night.</p>
