Tony Mowbray's message for Amad ahead of Stadium of Light return | OneFootball

Amad Diallo returns to the Stadium of Light this weekend, with Tony Mowbray sending a message ahead of his visit. The Manchester United forward is set to feature on Wearside for the first time since his standout 2022/23 loan, and will be involved on Saturday.

"Tony Mowbray was like a dad and manager for me, we had such a good relationship." He was speaking to Sky Sports.

"I really enjoyed my time in Sunderland honestly, I have nothing bad to say about the club."

"Hiya mate, just wanted to wish you well for this weekend going back to the Stadium of Light." "I've been watching every game, watching you do amazingly well at United."

"I'm emotional, he gave me a lot of confidence." "He gave me everything and I'm so grateful to him."

Benjamin Šeško is an early injury doubt for Saturday after going off at half time in Manchester United's 3-2 win over Liverpool on Sunday. Michael Carrick said a collision with the advertising hoardings aggravated a shin issue, adding: "He's been carrying a shin problem for some time, he got pushed and caught the bit that's been causing him some problems." Amad replaced him at the interval and could start if Šeško is not fit, with Joshua Zirkzee another option.
