Manchester United have offered their commiserations to Amad after his loan spell with Sunderland ended in play-off agony.
The winger, signed from Atalanta for £37.5 million two years ago, has enjoyed an excellent season on Wearside, scooping the club’s Young Player of the Season. His performances also helped the Black Cats to an unlikely top-six berth in their first campaign back in the Championship.
But after playing a starring role in the first leg, he could only watch on as Luton came from behind to book their place in the Wembley final. Goals from Gabriel Osho and Tom Lockyer saw the Hatters win 2-0 on the night, overhauling the Mackems’ 2-1 lead from the first meeting.
