Amad Diallo

Scored last night:

Mowbray said: "Ive got total confidence that Amad is a first-team footballer now. His tightness with the ball, the goals he can score, when he breaks away and he dances past people he looks as if he’s sharp and a real talent. It’s taken Amad a bit of time to make an impact, but he’s not a young unknown."

Mowbray added: "Man United bought him from Atalanta for a lot of money and he’s with us to play football and experience the expectation of a big crowd. He’s scored two goals now in just over a week and that’s good for the team because I feel I have unearthed another starter now. He’s gone past the stage where he’s a young lad who needs blooding.”

Keeper should have saved it.

Keeper should've saved that weak finish but must be doing something right if the crowd have taken to him.

Great that he the manager there is taking an interest in him.

Weird loan. For a player of his physical size, experience and style of play giving him to Sunderland in the championship probably isn’t the best way to develop in. I don’t know how Sunderland play but I doubt it compliments him

Needs regular games in a league that is less physical. Let him develop naturally through playing regularly. He only just turned 20 in the summer so his body is still getting used to first team football

That being said 2 in 2 games, hopefully he builds upon it and comes back a better player

I'd say it's absolutely the right thing to do. He needs to toughen up. Class of 92 were used to dancing past kids of their own age but wouldn't be facing them in the Premier League. Beckham went out to Preston to get experience of stiffer challenges from LBs/LMs and ended up being voted their 7th greatest ever player. Dancing past kids every week in the academy isn't going to help and nor is falling down every week to win free kicks in foreign leagues.

Was that Dean hendo Henderson in net?

This. Perfect place for him. Needs to learn how to cope with a faster, more aggressive game while also riding bad tackles. Championship is perfect. Especially as that's where he'll likely see out his career.

Very sensible and encouraging comments from Mowbray. Sounds like it's bringing Amad on which is more than can be said for his stint at Rangers. Whether he's ever going to make it at United is another question but in a worst case scenario he should sell for a higher price if this loan goes well.

Sunderland fans can't believe their luck by all accounts. Supposed to have been superb this past month.

I hope they buy him

Isis did a great job with the production

Scored again.

Sounds likes he's having a good time there after a slow start. Sunderland look like they're in the fight for the play-offs now.

Will be interested to see what ten Hag makes of him, though I think at the moment he would only be understudy to Bruno as that's his best position in our system.

He's doomed. Remember what happened to Lukaku after we stopped singing about his #@&%!?

Hope our scouts are having a good look

FWIW Sunderland played 3 Championship matches in November, winning 2 and losing one. Amad scored 2 goals and made one assist. Pretty meagre fare really. Still, it should give his confidence a boost.
