Tony Mowbray is not losing any sleep over speculation that Manchester United could recall Amad from his loan spell at Sunderland next month. Reports this week indicated that the Red Devils were considering whether to trigger the recall options and bring some of their loan players back to Old Trafford in the January transfer window.
One of those players is Amad, who has recently hit a rich vein of form on Wearside after forcing his way into the starting XI and, prior to the World Cup break, he had scored three goals in five outings for the Black Cats. Losing Amad in January would be a major blow for Mowbray and Sunderland, but the head coach is taking a relaxed approach - firstly, because the decision lies with Manchester United, and secondly because he feels Man U boss Erik Ten Hag has enough attacking options already without recalling the 20-year-old.
Speaking ahead of the resumption of Sunderland's Championship campaign at home to Millwall tomorrow, Mowbray said: "We'll have to wait and see what happens, but we're not sitting here at the moment thinking, 'Oh, Man United are going to take him back in January because he's going to go and make a massive impact for them'. I think Man United are in an alright place aren't they?
