Amad sends Erik ten Hag fresh reminder after dropping hint on Man Utd future

Amad reminded Erik ten Hag why he's dreaming of playing for Manchester United next season with another spectacular goal in his fruitful loan spell with Sunderland.

The Ivorian wonderkid, 20, has spent the full campaign on Wearside and after a rough patch at the turn of the year, scored his 12th goal in 33 Championship appearances on Saturday as Sunderland kept their play-off hopes alive. Tony Mowbray 's men beat Birmingham 2-1 at home, with Amad's 75th-minute stunner proving the difference.

Receiving the ball on his favoured right flank, the United loanee seamlessly cut inside his marker and rifled a shot into the bottom left-hand corner, sending the Stadium of Light wild. Amad's heroics came just days after he reaffirmed his desire to succeed back at Old Trafford, with Ten Hag anticipating his return this summer.
