'We have to take the risk' - Man United fans send message to Erik ten Has as Amad shines again

Manchester United fans agree that Amad should be in and around the first team next season after starting his first game for the Ivory Coast.

The attacker played 74 minutes, helping his country to a 2-0 win over Comoros in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying on Tuesday. The 20-year-old has looked impressive during his loan with Sunderland.

Amad has started 23 of his 32 appearances for the Black Cats and has found the net nine times. Boss Tony Mowbray has often sung the praises of the talent, who has also bagged three assists.

A tricky spell in Scotland saw him return to his parent club and Erik ten Hag brought him out to feature in United’s pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia.

His loan move to Sunderland has seen Amad regain his form and confidence and some United fans on Twitter are calling for him to be brought into Ten Hag’s plans next season.

I thoroughly believe they're physically, mentally and technically ready to make an impact.
