The 22-year-old's new contract is a reward for some impressive performances for United. Amad has six goals and three assists in the Premier League so far this season and had been approached by two top teams, according to Fabrizio Romano, but had no interest in leaving Old Trafford. Amad's latest goal was an 80th-minute strike that secured a 2-2 draw against runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday, further underlining his importance under new coach Ruben Amorim.
