Manchester United sent Amad message which could hit Sunderland's hopes of second loan

Amad left Sunderland a 'hero' this summer acorrding to former Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand - but the ex-England defender would love to see him given a chance at Old Trafford next season.

The 20-year-old Ivorian was a huge hit during his season-long loan spell at the Stadium of Light, and played a key part in the Black Cats' play-off bid, scoring the 2-1 first-leg win over Luton Town. His stats of 14 goals and four assists in his 42 appearances for Tony Mowbray's side made him a firm favourite on Wearside, and many fans would love to see him return for a second spell.

The player himself has hinted that he would be open to another loan move to Sunderland, but there has also been interest from Feyenoord. But speaking on the Vibe with Five podcast, Ferdinand admitted he would like to see him given an opportunity with Manchester United next season.
