(Video) Amad Diallo highlights for Sunderland so far

Manchester United loanee Amad Diallo is showing his true potential in the Championship this season. It will come as a big relief to Manchester United’s recruitment team having paid a hefty fee to sign the 20-year-old from Atalanta in 2019, only to see him to struggle on loan at Rangers last season.

At Atalanta, Amad was considered one of the most promising youngsters across Europe, but he has yet to get a run in Manchester United’s first-team. The signing of Antony in the summer pushed him further down the pecking order and the correct decision was made to loan him out again.

Amad agreed to join Sunderland on a season-long loan and he has had to work hard to get into Tony Mowbray’s side. Now the manager is playing him in more games, reaping the benefits and heaping praise on the young winger.

The youngster has three goals in his last five appearances in the Championship and you can see more reasons as to why Amad’s popularity is on the rise:
