Manchester United
Amad created incredible piece of Man Utd history against Southampton which can never be repeated
The 22-year-old, who has been United’s standout performer this season, rescued his team from a fourth straight home defeat with a memorable 12-minute hat-trick in front of the Stretford End.
For large parts of the game, Southampton dominated as Ruben Amorim’s struggled to deal with Tyler Dibling, Mateus Fernandes and Kamaldeen Sulmana, who made Leny Yoro look distinctly average throughout.
But like he has done on numerous occasions this season, the in-form Amad delivered when his team needed him most, scoring a memorable hat-trick to seal a far-from-convincing three points.
As a result, the Ivorian forward became the youngest Manchester United player to score a Premier League hat-trick since Wayne Rooney, who was 21 years and four days when he netted one against Bolton in 2006.
Amad also created a piece of history as he registered his 12th Premier League goal involvement of the season – a feat that makes him the first African player to register more than ten Premier League goal involvements in a single campaign for United.
After scoring his sixth league goal of the season, the Ivorian described the past week as one of the best of his life.
Speaking to TNT Sports after the full-time whistle, he said: “In football, you have to believe it and we believed until the end. We are very happy to win this game because we draw against Liverpool and Arsenal, so the confidence was there.
“We have quality players in this team. We need sometimes to be more hungry in the final third, and today we showed at the end we were the best team on the pitch. I’m so happy for the win today because this team deserved it.”
He added: “I’m ready to play every position. I’m ready to play right wing back, No. 10, wherever the manager likes to put me. I’m ready to fight for this club, so I never matter where I am. I’m so happy to play where the manager wanted me to play.
“I’m so happy to score a hat-trick and the most important thing is the win for the club.”
