Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray says Manchester United know they're a good place for Amad Diallo.

Supporters have been wowed by the Ivorian throughout his time at the club. He has now played 17 games in the Championship with five goals and an assist.

Mowbray was pressed on loanees Amad and Ellis Simms, of Everton, during his latest post-match press conference yesterday afternoon.

He said: "I think Everton are happy Ellis is playing football and it's like Amad and Manchester United.

"If clubs send young players on loan, they want to know they're playing football and improving. Amad didn't play a lot of football for Rangers [last season], but he's one of our main players. I'll be rotating him in and out as the games come thick and fast, but he's playing and I'm sure United are happy with that.

"It's like they're going to school really. You have to teach them about football and playing in all different games."
