Manchester United starlet Amad gets shoutout from rapper Dave in latest track

Manchester United star Amad has received a special shoutout from UK rapper Dave in his latest track.

The 20-year-old enjoyed a superb season with loan club Sunderland in the Championship, helping Tony Mowbray's side reach the play-off semi-finals before being eliminated by eventual winners Luton Town.

Amad found the net 14 times for the Black Cats across the 2022/23 campaign and also won the Supporters' Young Player of the Year award for his efforts.

Lifelong United supporter Dave's new track features fellow UK rapper Central Cee and is titled 'UK Rap'. It's clear Amad's performances have been catching the eye of Dave, with his lyrics stating: ''Pay him a hundred grand in a Sunderland like Amad Diallo.''

With it yet to be confirmed what Erik ten Hag's plans are for the Ivorian next season, the youngster has continued to post cryptic messages via social media in recent weeks, with his admiration for Sunderland's fanbase clear to see.

MEN Sport understands Ten Hag invited Amad to attend Saturday's FA Cup final defeat against Manchester City and is open to adding him to the squad next season.
