'Competing with Antony' - Man United fans make Amad prediction after Sunderland wonder goal vs Coventry

Manchester United fans have once again called for Amad to be part of the first-team next season after he scored a stunning goal in Sunderland's defeat to Coventry on Saturday.

The 20-year-old scored his ninth goal of the season in all competitions as the Black Cats fell to a 2-1 defeat away at Coventry City - with the Ivorian curling home an effort from just inside the penalty area.

His spectacular goal in added time of the second half ultimately came too late for Sunderland, with the home side having made it 2-0 in the 89th minute through in-form striker Viktor Gyokeres. Despite this, Amad once again received plaudits for his performance in the game and fine finish late on in the clash.
