Ivory Coast international Amad, 21 next month, spent last season at Sunderland on loan and enjoyed huge success at the Stadium of Light.

The youngster joined United from Atalanta for £20m in January 2021 but was cleared by Alejandro Garnacho and Uruguayan Facundo Pellistri in dissection order. With Amad returning to Old Trafford, manager Erik ten Hag plans to take him on the club's summer tour of the United States to take a closer look at United's first team slots next season.


Another loan move looks more likely although Ten Hag would rather move Amad abroad or to one of the promoted clubs to further develop than another season in the Championship.

Saudi side Al-Nassr are said to be willing to pay Zaha £45m over three years to join Cristiano Ronaldo, while Paris Saint-Germain have also expressed an interest in the Ivorian star.

After making 10 appearances for Roberto Mancini's side last season, Gnonto's value has skyrocketed to £30m - but many are willing to pay the price for the fast-paced star this summer. Despite two caps for the national team, Gnonto was selected for the European Under-21 Championships currently taking place in Romania and Georgia.


And scouts for Gnonto's Premier League contenders are now in Cluj to watch him against Switzerland on Sunday.
