Amad’s latest goal for Sunderland is perhaps the best of his 14 strikes for the Black Cats this season.
The forward bent home a fabulous effort from a free-kick to see the Championship club level their semi-final play-off first leg against Luton Town before playing a role in the build-up for the winner in the 2-1 victory on Saturday.
The Ivorian has been bestowed endless superlatives by onlookers this campaign, none more so than Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray, who was so impressed with Amad's output that he all but pleaded with United to avoid triggering a recall.

The 20-year-old will hope to trudge out on the Wembley turf himself with Sunderland in the play-off final at the end of this month after being invited by United to the FA Cup final, which takes place just days later.
Amad has respectably left the door open for a return to the Stadium of Light next season but made clear his primary mission, “I have a lot of thoughts in my head but my ambition now is to come back to Manchester United and maybe to get my chance,” he admitted at the weekend.
The former Atalanta star has already played nine senior games for the Reds, and netted his maiden goal two months after his January 2021 arrival against AC Milan. He also scored twice in pre-season; against Wrexham and Rayo Vallecano.
Amad certainly can play a part in next season’s plans, and Erik ten Hag says it is something he is considering. The youngster’s ears will have perked by those comments but in reality, a different path may be more beneficial.
