Eric Bailly sends funny message to Amad after goal in Manchester United's pre-season draw

Manchester United defender Eric Bailly sent a funny message to Amad after he scored in the Reds' 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano.

Erik ten Hag played an entirely different starting XI to the one which lost to Atletico Madrid in Oslo on Saturday. Cristiano Ronaldo returned to start for United at Old Trafford but had just the one chance which he blazed over.

He was replaced at half time by Amad who made an instant impact two minutes into the second 45. Alex Telles' long-range effort was spilled by the goalkeeper allowing the 20-year-old the opportunity to fire it home.

The La Liga side would equalise through Alvaro Garcia Rivera but the plaudits for United remained with the forward. One teammate who was quick to send a message to Amad.

Taking to Instagram from the home dressing room, Bailly posted a selfie with Amad with the caption: "My son scored today." United will be back in action next weekend for the start of the Premier League season.
