Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has issued a warning to the club's hierarchy about Amad amidst an overhaul in the club's attacking unit.
Ruben Amorim is coming close to securing the club's second deal of the summer transfer window with Bryan Mbeumo's announcement nearing.
The English giants have already signed Matheus Cunha, and Amorim is eager to bring in Mbeumo to further strengthen his attack. More additions to the attack could signal a change in the role of established United players.
What did Louis Saha say about Amad's role in the attack?
Saha spoke to Express Sport and sent an urgent plea to the club about Amad. The former striker said, "If there are one or two players who should not leave, it is him and Bruno Fernandes."
Amad prefers to play in an attacking role on the right-hand side, which is where Mbeumo has also excelled. Bringing Mbeumo in might send Amad to play as a right-wing back.

The former player has urged the club to keep Amad happy and ensure he doesn't grow displeased with his potential new role.
Saha praised Amad, saying, "He is the kind of player who does not care where he plays. He has said it himself; he will play as a left-back or centre-back- he will just play."
Saha has urged the club to not sell Amad but rather to appease the young attacker. Amad scored crucial goals for the club this season, before suffering an injury that kept him out for several months.
There are multiple players, including Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, and Alejandro Garnacho, who are all linked with moves away from the club. Their sales could bring in a new forward, with Amorim keen to find a proven goalscorer.
