According to a report by Manchesterevening News on Tuesday November 3, 2026, even though Amad was one of Manchester United's better performers this season, club legend Wayne Rooney is still not happy with his recent behavior because he thinks players should show their dedication on the field.

Michael Carrick is under a lot of pressure due to Manchester United's poor season. The club was supposed to challenge for a top-four finish last year, but instead they've struggled.

Rooney thinks Amad's most recent social media activity after their loss to Chelsea was pointless and disheartening, and he thinks the current situation is making supporters more and more frustrated.

The Ivorian winger keeps out of trouble at Old Trafford and is well-liked by fans for his professionalism. He has mostly stuck to his word with managers, though he has occasionally sent subtle internet messages.

Rooney was especially irritated by Amad's recent remarks because he expected performances rather than public declarations, and because he continued to back Carrick despite having problems under Erik ten Hag in the past.

After United's 2-0 loss to Chelsea, Amad took to social media to share his optimism that the team will pull through its rough patch. But the winger's response failed to impress Rooney.

While praising Amad's dedication, the former United captain stressed the importance of offensive players scoring or setting up teammates when given the chance to impact games on The Overlap.

I must say, Amad puts in a lot of effort. Indeed, he does. The man puts in a lot of hours. Still, scoring is a must if you were to play that position. Rooney was adamant that you pitch in.

He went on to say that Amad should have taken advantage of his advantageous attacking positions to make significant contributions rather than just relying on positive reinforcement.

The constant stream of these posts and whatever has worn me down. Get down to business on the field. Everyone wants to see that. Put your best foot forward on the field!

As a result of hearing hopeful promises of improvements time and time again without witnessing compelling performances or consistent outcomes, Manchester United supporters, like Rooney, are becoming increasingly disillusioned.

Talk of an eventual recovery has become old news to many fans after so many letdowns. They want the players to show their resolve by winning games and performing well.
