Amad is back at Manchester United after a successful season in the Championship where fans have truly been able to see his talents on a consistent basis.
The 20-year-old Ivory Coast international spent the 2022/23 campaign away from United. The talented winger headed to Wearside on a season-long loan with Sunderland.
It proved to be a successful season on a personal level for Amad and for the Black Cats. Having been a newly-promoted side, Tony Mowbray led the Stadium of Light club to the Championship play-offs in Sunderland's first season back in the second tier of English football.

And Amad showed what he is capable of in his time on Wearside, becoming a regular for Mowbray's side. Overall, Amad found the back of the net on 14 occasions for the Black Cats.
Amad played in a variety of attacking roles for Sunderland, including attacking midfield, up front, on the right wing and as a second striker.
He has shown his versatility and that is likely to be a trait that Erik ten Hag will appreciate as he mulls over his options for the upcoming season. It remains to be seen whether the Dutchman will opt to keep Amad around at United to challenge for a first-team place, or perhaps send him out on loan again.
Upon joining United in 2021 from Italian side Atalanta, though Amad admitted he prefers to operate on the right flank, he made it clear that he will play in any position his manager wants him to play and is ready for anything. This is likely to be music to Ten Hag's ears.
