Manchester United icon Wayne Rooney has heaped praise on Amad for his role in the side’s 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Anfield.

United take down Liverpool

United made a dream start at Anfield, as Bryan Mbeumo struck inside two minutes to open the scoring.

Mbeumo latched onto a superb pass from Amad before coolly slotting past Giorgi Mamardashvili. Cody Gakpo made it 1-1 in the 78th minute, giving the hosts some hope of mounting a comeback and sealing all three points.

However, Harry Maguire silenced the Anfield crowd moments later, rising above the Liverpool defence to power home a superb cross from Bruno Fernandes.

Amad started the game at right-wing-back, from where he struck an excellent partnership with Mbeumo. The Ivorian was a constant source of threat and nearly registered an assist when he set up Fernandes, but the skipper could not direct his effort on target.

Amad was taken off just before the hour mark after he was shown a yellow card by Michael Oliver.

Speaking on The Wayne Rooney Show, Rooney praise Amad, insisting the Liverpool defenders did not know how to contain him.
