UNITED'S Amad was described as 'a beacon of light, playing at the Stadium of Light' when he scored at the weekend.
Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray rubbed his eyes in disbelief and their supporters were sent into pandemonium. Sunderland fans have been wary of falling in love with a loan player but Amad has been deemed worth the heartache.
Amad's goal against Luton in the semi-final of the Championship play-offs was outstanding and it came just a week after his stunning, first-time strike against Preston, which ensured Sunderland would have a crack at promotion from the Championship.
Just as the commentator on Sky Sports suggested, Amad has been the brightest light at Sunderland this season and he's enjoyed a genuinely impressive loan, contributing 13 goals and three assists to get his side into the play-offs.
United believed they were signing a future star when signing Amad for £19million rising to £37m - a large transfer fee for an 18-year-old who had only played nine times - from Atalanta in 2020 and he's now striving to reach his potential.
