Manchester United fans have spoken out after noticing what young star Amad did after scoring a hat-trick against Southampton.

Despite a lacklustre performance from the team as a whole, United claimed a crucial three points in the Premier League after beating Southampton 3-1 at Old Trafford.

An own goal from Manuel Ugarte shortly before half-time led to the hosts being behind for most of the game, but young winger Amad stepped up and scored three goals in 12 minutes in the closing moments of the match to give his side the win.

Immediately after the full-time whistle was blown, fans noticed that the Ivorian footballer did one thing in particular, and reveals a lot about his character.

As soon as the match ended, Amad immediately approached the home fans to applaud them for their support throughout the gruelling match.

Not only this, but he also refused to leave the pitch when a United staff member approached him to tell him he had to go and perform his media duties, telling them that he needed to first go around the pitch to applaud every home fan in Old Trafford.

And the gesture was not lost on United fans both in attendance and watching at home, as they immediately took to social media to praise the 22-year-old for his behaviour.

Posting on X, on fan wrote: "After this action he is already one of my favourite footballers.

While another added: "Saw this and I just started smiling. He does everything for the fans. Love it so much."

And another praised the Ivorian winger while criticising former manager Erik ten Hag, writing: "I still can’t believe Teg Hag was benching this lethal weapon while playing Anthony , Rashford, Garnacho on the right wing. Oh Gosh"

Thursday's hat-trick takes Amad's total for the season up to nine goals for United across his 30 appearances in all competitions, equaling the exact record of captain Bruno Fernandes this season.

Perhaps the most impressive part of Amad's performance was that he found the back of the net three times despite starting the match out of position, playing as a wing-back instead of as a forward.

"I’m ready to play every position. I’m ready to play right wing back, No. 10, wherever the manager likes to put me," said Amad post-match.

"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."

The result takes United up to 12th in the Premier League table.
