Manchester United fans have been left surprised by Giovanni Van Bronckhorst’s decision not to bring on Amad in Rangers’ Europa League final penalty shoot-out defeat to Frankfurt.
The youngster did not play a single minute of his loan club’s journey to the final, and was left on the bench in the final. The striker has not had a seamless time in Scotland, being offered limited game time.

Rangers lost 5-4 on penalties to Bundesliga side Frankfurt after the score was 1-1 after extra time.
