Ex-Manchester United coach Michael Carrick explains the improvement in Amad while at Sunderland

In-form Manchester United loanee Amad has added end product to his game while at Sunderland, according to his former Old Trafford coach Michael Carrick. Amad scored his sixth goal of the season at the weekend, scoring the Black Cats' second in the 2-0 win against Carrick's Middlesbrough at the Stadium of Light.

Carrick was part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Red Devils coaching team, and worked with Amad when he moved to the club two years ago. The Ivory Coast international spent time on loan at Scottish giants Rangers last season but it is his spell at Sunderland in the Championship this term that has seen him kick-on, and laid the groundwork for him to challenge for a first-team place when he returns to Manchester in the summer.

Carrick took over at Boro in October and had a ringside seat as Amad caused no end of problems for his side before eventually scoring the goal that killed off any hopes of a fightback by the ten-man Teessiders.
