'Change the song': Manchester United loanee Amad sends hugely important message to Sunderland fans
The Manchester United loanee has been outstanding form of late and has won the adulation of the Black Cats support, but a song sung by some in recent months contains a racial stereotype in its final line.
Amad has released a video ahead of Saturday's game against Millwall to urge fans to be respectful.

"Hearing you sing my name is incredible, but we need to be respectful. Let's change the song, keep the noise and move forward together. Ha'way the lads."
Amad has three goals in his last five appearances for the club as he continues to shine under Tony Mowbray.
