Erik ten Hag recently spoke on the prospect of recalling Amad from his loan, however he seemed keen to let Amad continue his development.

We consider everything, as long as it’s strengthening the squad,” Ten Hag explained earlier this month.

“But at the same time, I have a little bit of a reservation about that because I don’t want to stop the process (of Amad’s development). He’s (making) really good progress there, so I’m happy with that.”

“When we decide (for him) to come back, he has to be a player who can be starting XI, compete for starting XI (at a) minimum, for a lot of games to come in and have an impact.”

Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray also had plenty of praise for Amad last week.

“He is a special footballer, I think,” Mowbray proclaimed when asked about the loanee. “For us, he is an amazing player. We’re delighted he’s with us. Hopefully, he can continue for the rest of the season and do exceptionally well.

“Hopefully, he can get an opportunity at United at some stage,” added Mowbray. “I liken him very much talent-wise to Harvey Elliot, the ball stuck to his feet, you know he’ll pick the right pass all the time, he knows when to keep it and when to release it.

“His feet are so fast, and Harvey is doing okay at Liverpool, so hopefully Amad will break through that glass ceiling at United. But it’s never easy for young players.”
