Manchester United youngster Amad Diallo has sent a message about his future at the club after his loan spell at Sunderland ended.
His temporary stint on the Championship team ended yesterday after the Black Cats qualified for the playoffs on the final day of the regular season on Monday.
They started Saturday with no playoffs, and knew they had to beat Preston North End at Deepdale and hope either Coventry or Millwall lose. A Millwall draw was also enough for Tony Mowbray's army.
And the Black Cats did their part, Amad putting them ahead with a superb 20 yard cut past North End goalkeeper Freddie Woodman in the opening focus of the second half. . Advertisement
In the 65th minute, the match ended with Sunderland's 3-0 scoreline. Goals from Alex Pritchard and Jack Clarke sealed victory.
And due to Millwall's 4-3 home loss to Blackburn, after a 3-1 lead, the Black Cats finished in sixth place.
One of their key players this season is Amad, who scored his 13th goal of the campaign at Deepdale. With star striker Ross Stewart sidelined for most of the campaign through injury, Amad's production is crucial. Advertisement
Speaking last week (quoted via Metro), Mowbray expects United to assess the development of the Ivory Coast winger during this summer's pre-season tour before making a decision on the futures. next step.
And The Sun claims that Ten Hag is considering loaning Amad to a "less physical" league, such as the Dutch National Football League.
But the winger had a say on his potential future moves in post-match media duties at Deepdale.

Speaking to the media after the game, Amad said (quoted via Football Transfers):
"We'll see, and maybe I'll be back."
And in an interview with Sky Sports reporter David Craig, he said:
"I hope maybe, if we go to the Premier League next season, maybe I'll be back. I don't know."
Sunderland face Luton in the play-off semi-finals, after Rob Edwards' side finished third in the Championship regular season. The winner of that home and away tie will face Middlesbrough or Coventry at Wembley for a place in next season's Premier League. Key players at United will certainly notice Amad's performance.
