Manchester United forward Amad has reacted on social media after being controversially left on the bench for much of Thursday’s 1-1 draw against Fenerbahce.
The Reds’ draw in Istanbul extended their winless run in Europe this season to three matches. United have drawn against FC Twente and Porto so far in 2024/25 and have not won in any European competition since a 1-0 win over Copenhagen a year ago.
Christian Eriksen put Erik ten Hag’s side 1-0 up at half-time before Youssef En-Nesyri equalised moments into the second half. Needing a goal to secure a much-needed win, Ten Hag opted to replace Marcus Rashford for Antony.

And Amad has since reacted on social media after Thursday’s stalemate in Turkey. “Fans, thanks for the support,” he said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
