Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray has pushed back against the idea of Manchester United recalling loanee Amad, suggesting that the 20-year-old wouldn't get the game time he needs at Old Trafford.
The attacker went into the World Cup break with three goals in his last five matches having started each of them. The Manchester Evening News revealed this week that United see a future for the Ivorian at Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag is searching for attacking reinforcements after the abrupt exit of Cristiano Ronaldo last month. Amad has a recall clause in his loan contract at Sunderland but Mowbray indicated that he doesn’t think it would be the wisest move for the youngster, whose confidence is “flourishing”.
