Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray has launched a staunch defence of Manchester United loanee Amad amid a drop in output, stating the attacker “does things that normal players don’t”.
The Reds striker - signed by United from Atalanta in 2021 - went on a hot scoring streak over the festive period, netting seven times in 13 Championship matches between October and January which included a run of five goals in seven games.
He has started all but one of Sunderland’s last 18 league matches although has failed to score since January 22, six matches ago, which increases to eight once FA Cup fixtures are included.
