Alejandro Garnacho's three-word assessment of Manchester United youngster Amad

Alejandro Garnacho has praised Manchester United youngster Amad after his performance for Sunderland in the Championship play-offs.

Tony Mowbray's side beat Luton Town 2-1 at the Stadium of Light in the first leg on Saturday. Amad was among the scorers, curling in a phenomenal equaliser to bring the Black Cats level.

Trai Hume scored a second-half winner for Sunderland to give them a slender lead before travelling to Kenilworth Road on Tuesday. The star man, though, was Amad.

MEN Sport revealed last month Ten Hag is open to adding Amad to the first-team squad next season and United have made arrangements for the winger to attend the FA Cup final. The forward has scored 14 Championship goals this season and will be given the chance to impress during pre-season.
