Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray has told Manchester United that Amad Diallo is destined for the top.
Diallo joined the Black Cats on a season-long loan back in August, becoming the latest United youngster to drop into the Championship in search of more regular minutes. Hannibal Mejbri joined Birmingham for a second season, while Ethan Laird and Alvaro Fernandez joined QPR and Preston North End respectively.
After a fragmented start to life in the northeast - it took until October for a first start - the 20-year-old has blossomed, starting all of the last 13 games and registering six goals and two assists in the process. The Ivorian has quickly become one of the most feared forwards in the second-tier, and Mowbray believes he is destined for far greater heights.
