Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray has spoken about loan star Amad Diallo's best qualities.

The Manchester United youngster is spending the season at the Stadium of Light stadium club.

Diallo was on the scoresheet late in a 2-0 win over Huddersfield Town in the Championship on Wednesday night.

Asked about the youngster's qualities by reporters post-game, Mowbray said: "I've got total confidence that Amad is a first-team footballer now.

“His tightness with the ball, the goals he can score, when he breaks away and he dances past people he looks as if he's sharp and a real talent. It's taken Amad a bit of time to make an impact, but he's not a young unknown."

Mowbray added: "Man United bought him from Atalanta for a lot of money and he's with us to play football and experience the expectation of a big crowd.

“He's scored two goals now in just over a week and that's good for the team because I feel I have unearthed another starter now. He's gone past the stage where he's a young lad who needs blooding."
