Amad’s struggles intensified this week as the Manchester United loanee was relegated to Sunderland’s Under-21s.
During Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ’s time in charge, the Red Devils splashed out £37million to sign the forward from Atalanta. But after failing to make an impact across his first two seasons, he was sent to Rangers on loan but endured a difficult spell north of the border.
The Ivorian was signed as a response to United’s failed initial pursuit of Jadon Sancho, but has continued to fall down the pecking order. Antony’s arrival during the most recent transfer window meant that opportunities under Erik ten Hag were set to be extremely limited and he was allowed to join Sunderland for the full Championship season.
