Manchester United earned a first win in the new-look Europa League group phase with a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Greek champions PAOK Salonika at Old Trafford on Thursday night.
Amad reaped the rewards his own performance merited, as he netted his second and third goals of the campaign in the second half, to end our sequence of three successive draws in the competition and extend our unbeaten run to three games under interim head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Ruud made three changes to the side that drew 1-1 with Chelsea as Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans came into central defence for Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez, while Amad made his first start since 3 October as Marcus Rashford was rested on a substitutes’ bench which had a mix of youth and experience.
