18yo Man Utd star 'considering' new loan move, Amorim said he is 'struggling'
Manchester United are expected to be busy in the winter transfer window with several academy talents eager to get a taste of senior football.
Among the brightest names in the youth ranks is Harry Amass, a defender widely tipped for the very top.
The 18-year-old is currently on loan at Sheffield Wednesday, but his impressive progress could soon earn him another Championship move.
According to The Sun, Amass is considering a loan move to Championship promotion-chasers Stoke City.
The former Watford defender has thrived at Wednesday, starting in all 20 games this campaign.
He has played in the left wing-back spot, a problematic position in United head coach Ruben Amorim’s squad.
Amass has impressed with his energetic displays, winning back-to-back Player of the Month awards in November and December.
Wednesday’s season has been overshadowed by off-field turmoil, with multiple points deductions dragging them towards relegation trouble.
While Amass has enjoyed regular minutes with the Owls, a move to Stoke would present a fresh test in a more stable environment.
The Potters currently sit ninth in the Championship with 37 points, firmly within touching distance of the play-off places.
A strong run of results could yet reignite their long-held ambition of returning to the Premier League after an eight-year absence.
Back at Old Trafford, Amorim recently defended his limited use of academy players, name-checking both Amass and Chido Obi.
He said that the young defender was “struggling”, despite his standout performances at Wednesday.
Whether United sanction another Championship loan this month remains unclear, with Amass eager to build a compelling case ahead of next pre-season under Amorim’s watchful eye.
