What Leeds United could expect if they land 'magician' Manchester United star Amad

Leeds United have been linked with a loan move for Manchester United's £35m forward Amad - a man who lit up the Championship last season during his time at Sunderland. The Whites are apparently eyeing the 20-year-old as a potential replacement if Wilfried Gnonto and/or Jack Harrison head for the Elland Road exit.

After suffering relegation on the final day of the Premier League season, Leeds are looking to bounce straight back to the top flight and feel that Amad can help their cause. He finished as Sunderland's 14-goal top scorer last term as the Black Cats finished sixth on their return to the Championship after winning promotion from League One, before losing in the play-off semi-finals to eventual winners Luton Town.

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is expected to take Amad on the club's pre-season trip to the USA to see him first-hand and decide whether he is ready to play a part in the Red Devils' Premier League campaign. But if he decides that Amad still needs more experience, it could mean another loan move is in store for a player who joined Manchester United in January 2021 from Italian side Atalanta in a deal worth up to £35m.
