Amad and JJ Gabriel were in action on Saturday for their respective international sides. With one having a happier outing than the other.
So far, this international break has seen Manchester United see multiple players have successful outings.
Harry Maguire impressed on his return for England, leading the defence and staking his claim, with Manuel Ugarte also looking good.
Ayden Heaven dominated with a goal for England’s U20 side in a 3-3 draw against Italy. But on Saturday, it was Amad’s turn.

Amad assists for Ivory Coast vs Japan
Saturday saw Amad back in Ivory Coast action for the first time since AFCON disappointment, as he started against Japan.
Amad came off the bench for the Ivory Coast in the 4-0 win, and his impact was immediate as he got an assist despite only playing 26 minutes.
The right-winger was a big threat for his nation, continuing the trend of getting goal contributions for his national team but not his club.

This isn’t a trend that will please Carrick, but it also shows that Amad can do much better than he is currently for United, with a disappointing return.

JJ Gabriel on the losing side for England U17
During the week, Gabriel made his England U17 debut, playing well in a win over the Faroe Islands in which he was hacked down often.
But on Saturday, Gabriel and England came up against Israel, and it was a resounding 3-1 defeat for the Three Lions.
Gabriel failed to have a big impression with England’s goal coming via Ryan Kavuma-McQueen.
This result puts England now on the back foot in their U17 European Championship qualification hopes, with Estonia left to play on Tuesday.
