Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray admitted that he finds it 'difficult to believe' that he has Manchester United loanee Amad in his squad after he scored one and made another during Friday night's 2-1 win over Birmingham City at St Andrew's.
The youngster, who joined the Championship outfit on a season-long loan deal in August, provided an excellent assist for Ellis Simms to open the scoring, producing some outstanding ball control and skill, before bending home a sumptuous second just after half time. He was a constant threat and Birmingham found it hard to deal with him.
Following a slow start to life at the club, Amad has gone up through the gears in recent weeks, producing a string of fine performances. His attacking output has also improved, registering four direct goal contributions in his last five appearances.
