The Manchester United youngster is currently on a season-long loan deal at the Stadium of Light.
Sunderland are reportedly keen to secure the youngster on a permanent deal.
The 19-year-old said: “I’ve seen what Steve Bruce has said and I need to make a decision on my future.
“For now, I’m looking short term. I just want to do my best in every game and I’m not thinking about whether I go back to United.
“My aim was to come here and get minutes on the pitch.
“At United, I was getting the odd chance here and there but I was never ready to take them.
“I’d miss loads of games and then I’d be thrown in and would struggle to do myself justice.
“It’s different here. I’m playing every game and I’m getting better and better. You can see I am benefiting from it.
“I’m confident and I’m really enjoying my football.”
