Manchester United star Amad is performing so well on loan at Sunderland that the club’s manager Tony Mowbray is struggling to understand how they secured him.
Amad joined Sunderland on a season-long loan on deadline day in August after United determined the Championship club to be the best destination for him. The 20-year-old winger arrived with expectations high, given United forked out £37million to sign him from Atalanta in October 2020, but he made a slow start.
Things have really picked up for Amad now, with three goals and an assist coming in his past five Championship matches. And his performance on Friday night in a 2-1 win over Birmingham City, in front of the Sky Sports cameras, really caught the eye.
