Amad sends Ten Hag a reminder after scoring stunning goal in Championship play-off semi-final
Manchester United loanee Amad Diallo scored another stunning goal for Sunderland against Luton in the Championship Play-off semi-final.
The 20-year-old, on loan from Man United, is having a sensational season with the Black Cats.
Luton struck early against Sunderland, but a moment of brilliance from Amad brought the score to parity.
Alex Pritchard rolled a free-kick short to Amad, who produced a beautifully curled effort from 30 yards to find the top left corner.
Amad’s stunning strike, which came five minutes before half-time, uplifted the mood at the Stadium of Light.
Trai Hume’s second-half strike aided Sunderland to register a 2-1 victory in the first leg of their semi-final tie.
The Ivorian finished the game with a 85% passing accuracy and completed five of the eight dribbles he attempted.
After today’s magical strike, his season’s tally has increased to 14 goals and four assists in 42 appearances across all competitions.
The second leg is scheduled at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday night.
Amad can send the Old Trafford crowd into raptures next season
The Black Cats are targeting to become the first team to win consecutive play-off finals in League One and the Championship.
They will be relying on Amad to achieve that glorious ambition.
The young Ivorian has done everything he could at Sunderland to catch Erik ten Hag’s attention. The United supporters are already backing the starlet to break into the first team next season.
They are thrilled with the idea of seeing Alejandro Garnacho and Amad on the wings at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag has a left-footer right winger in the form of Antony, but Amad could be a great option to call from the bench.
The Dutchman often counts on his substitute to make a difference on the pitch. This is where Amad can contribute and earn plaudits from the United boss.
