"I feel good physically and I think this is the best team for me to progress and although I’ve never been to the Stadium of Light before, I know the supporters are great so I hope we can win many games together.”

The Côte d'Ivoire international joined Atalanta aged 13 and quickly progressed through La Dea’s youth ranks. He moved to Old Trafford in January 2021, with his Manchester United debut coming in a 4-0 UEFA Europa League victory over Real Sociedad.

Amad moved to Rangers for part of the 2021-22 season in January and scored three goals in 11 appearances for the Scottish side.

Sunderland, meanwhile, are expected to be busy on deadline day.
