Fernandes backs Amad with magical claim

Bruno Fernandes boosts Amad with a playful social post as United prepare for a season of change and a new on field plan.

Fernandes praises Amad with magical left foot in United message

Bruno Fernandes used a lighthearted Instagram moment to praise Amad, sharing a clip from a media day where the Ivorian golfer optics failed to land cleanly and captioning it with a cheeky line about his left foot being magical. The post arrives as United head into the Premier League season aiming to rebound from last season’s Europa League final defeat and a missed European campaign. The moment sits alongside United’s summer business, which has added four first team players to strengthen the frontline after a season that fell short of the club’s high standards.

In the background, manager Ruben Amorim is steering a shift toward domestic focus with signings like Cunha, Mbeumo and Sesko to bolster the attack. Amad’s future role is being shaped around a wing back position that could see him use pace and energy at both ends of the pitch, with Diogo Dalot competing for a regular spot on the right. This ties into a broader plan to rebuild confidence and competitiveness at Old Trafford.

The moment reflects how players now help steer club narratives off the pitch as much as on it. A playful social post can lift spirits but also raises expectations around Amad and the squad’s direction. United are betting on youth and speed to punch through a demanding league schedule, while still needing the results to validate the broader plan. If the wing back experiment under Amorim works, it could unlock a sharper attacking system; if not, the club may face pressure to pivot again midseason. The balance between hype and tangible progress will define this campaign.
