Michael Carrick has praised the upwards form of Manchester United loanee Amad after the 21-year-old scored to help Sunderland defeat his Middlesbrough side on Sunday.
After missing a good opportunity in the first half, the Ivory Coast international made up for it by firing home a sumptuous, low-curling effort nine minutes from time as the Black Cats ran out 2-0 winners in Sunday’s North East derby.
Amad has now scored seven goals in his last 13 Championship starts as he thrives amid regular game time under Tony Mowbray. He’s also bagged two assists in the process.
