The 22-year-old winger has returned home to be with his loved ones during this difficult time. A club spokesperson expressed full support for the player, acknowledging the emotional toll of the loss.

According to a post from Fabrizio Romano’s X post on Friday, Manchester United’s coach Reuben Amorim said, “Amad is not with us as a member of his family passed away. We are giving all the support to Amad and understand he needed to return home”.

As a result of his temporary absence, Amad is likely to miss Manchester United’s early kick-off opener against Brentford on Saturday.
