Asked if Amad has a future at Man United, Erik ten Hag said: "Yes, of course. We loan such players to let them develop and make progress. To bring them back... that is the aim of a loan."
Ten Hag hailed former United midfielder Darren Fletcher, who is currently the club's technical director for Amad's form.
"We are really strong on them on the matter of the way we mentor them, and so we follow them and we have communication through all the season, especially Darren Fletcher.
"He invests a lot in such processes and the aim is to bring them back as a better player and with better experience."
Amad is currently on loan at Sunderland where he has bagged 13 goals and three assists. The eyes of United fans will be on the Ivorian when the Black Cats face Luton Town tomorrow in the first leg of a play-off semi-final tie.
