Amad won a late penalty and scored the dramatic match-winner, showcasing his rising influence under manager Ruben Amorim.

The 22-year-old became the second-youngest player ever to net a 90th-minute winner against the reigning Premier League champions, further cementing his growing reputation.

However, Keane, speaking as a pundit on Sky Sports, urged the youngster to remain humble and not lose focus.

“He’s got energy and quality,” Keane said. “But you do worry—he’s still a young kid, and you just hope he stays grounded.

It was a big afternoon for him. He was prepared to run in behind when others were just looking to get on the ball. That’s a great trait.”

Keane was quick to highlight Amad’s comfort under the pressures of playing for Manchester United, a challenge that many players fail to overcome.

“Some players can’t find their feet in the United jersey, but he looks comfortable,” he added.

While celebrating United’s triumph, Keane also issued a challenge to his former club ahead of their Carabao Cup quarter-final clash with Tottenham on Thursday.

“United have had a really good day, but now they need to turn up at Spurs. This has to be the spark they use to build momentum,” he said.

The victory over City marked a high point in what has been an inconsistent season for United, with Keane urging the team to capitalize on the win.

“It’s been stop-start for them, but they need to kick on now,” Keane continued. “There was a bit of self-destruction from City, but United need to use this result. Go to Spurs and put in another spirited performance.”

Under Amorim, Amad has begun to thrive, with his energy and direct style offering a new dynamic to United’s attack.

Keane’s remarks serve as both praise and a reminder of the pressures that come with being a rising star at Old Trafford. Whether Amad can maintain his form and mindset will be key as United push for consistency and success.
