A number of Manchester United supporters have criticised manager Erik ten Hag for his decision to omit Amad from his starting line up for Saturday’s FA Cup final against Manchester City at Wembley.
Despite starting each of United’s last three Premier League fixtures, the Ivorian has dropped to the bench for the showpiece event at Wembley, making way for Marcus Rashford. The latter is starting for the first time since the semi-final triumph over Coventry City last month.
Rashford stepped off the bench for each of United’s final two Premier League matches of the campaign, storing seven minutes and 15 minutes under his belt respectively. Amad impressed on each of his three starts and scored in the 3-2 win over Newcastle United just over a week ago.

Ten Hag, however, has elected to add more experience to his forward line, deploying Rashford alongside Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes. The latter, for the third game running, is operating as a ‘false nine’.
As a result, a number of United supporters have expressed disappointment in response to Amad’s omission from the starting line up. Below, MEN Sport has had a close look at what some United supporters have had to say on social media in response to Ten Hag’s decision to name the former Sunderland loanee on the bench.
