Matheus Cunha warns Amad after 13-game blank run

matheus cunha is at the center of a Manchester United attacking problem after Amad went 13 consecutive games without a goal or assist. The run began after Carrick moved him into a winger role in a four-defender system, and it has put his place in the starting lineup under pressure.

After 28 matches this season, Amad has only 2 goals and 3 assists. His per-90 output sits at 0.08 goals and 0.13 assists, numbers that leave little room for a prolonged dry spell if United want sharper production in attack.

Amad’s wing role under Carrick

Carrick switched Manchester United to a system with four defenders and used Amad as a winger. That move changed the terms of his job immediately. Rather than supplying the end product that usually keeps an attacking player secure, he has gone 13 straight matches without scoring or setting up a goal.

Before that switch, Amad had been one of the brighter attackers under Ruben Amorim. The new role has not produced the same returns, and the numbers now describe a player drifting away from the kind of output that earns a regular place.

Manchester United’s summer attack plans

United are preparing to strengthen their attack for the new season, and that timing adds pressure to Amad’s position. If he does not improve his finishing and decision-making, his starting spot is said to be under threat.

That is the part of this run that cannot be ignored. He has already played 28 matches, but the combination of 2 goals, 3 assists, and a 13-game stretch without a direct contribution leaves Carrick with a straightforward choice: keep trusting a winger whose output has stalled, or push the attack in a different direction.
