Manchester United are hopeful Amad can establish himself in the first-team squad when he returns from his loan spell with Sunderland.
Amad, 20, has scored three goals in his last five games for Championship side Sunderland and sources at United believe he is thriving due to consistent playing time.
A well-placed source suggested Amad needs "a run of 10 games" to showcase his qualities and the Cote d'Ivoire international has started Sunderland's last five matches.
