It's dangerous to fall in love with a loan player but Sunderland fans considered Amad worth the inevitable heartbreak this season.
Amad started slowly in the North East at the beginning of the campaign, but he scored his first goal in October and never looked back. The winger began to flourish in the Championship and quickly became a favourite at the Stadium of Light.
The 20-year-old shone brightest in a young Sunderland team that defied expectations by reaching the play-offs and along the journey, every one of the club's supporters waxed lyrical about the talent Manchester United had on their hands.
