Amad returns to full trainingWinger yet to feature this season Had been recovering from a serious knee injury WHAT HAPPENED?
The winger has been out of action since July after picking up a serious knee injury which halted his development under Ten Hag or a potential loan move to any other club when the likes of West Ham, Everton, and Burnley were interested in the youngster in the summer. He had been gradually upping his ante in the recovery sessions from late October and the club media officially informed on Thursday that Amad is available for selection.

A club statement read: "Amad has returned to full training with the first-team squad, as he gets back to fitness after a knee injury."

Amad was sensational for Sunderland in the 2022-23 season as he boasted of having 16 goal contributions in 37 Championship appearances. His performances caught the attention of the Old Trafford think tank but his knee injury dealt a mortal blow to his chances of racking up minutes under Ten Hag.

United forwards have struggled in front of goal which saw Marcus Rashford drop to the bench against Chelsea on Wednesday, with Scott McTominay scoring a brace to bail out the Red Devils. Hence, Amad's availability should be music to the ears of Ten Hag who could potentially give me a run in the latter stages when they take on Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday.
