Harry Amass Considers Move to Stoke City from Sheffield Wednesday
Harry Amass, a young left-back from Manchester United, is contemplating a loan transfer to Stoke City. The 18-year-old has been instrumental for Sheffield Wednesday, starting in all 20 of their Championship matches this season.
Current Situation at Sheffield Wednesday
Amass joined Sheffield Wednesday on loan in September 2023, just before the transfer deadline. Unfortunately, the club is struggling at the bottom of the Championship, having faced two points deductions this season.
Stoke City’s Interest
Stoke City, currently in eighth place in the Championship, is actively seeking a left-back. They aim to strengthen their squad in hopes of returning to the Premier League after an eight-year absence. A move to Stoke would ensure Amass regular playing time, an appealing prospect given Wednesday’s dire situation.
Manchester United’s Stance
Despite speculation about a permanent move, Manchester United has no plans to recall Amass. Manager Ruben Amorim criticized the young player for allegedly feeling entitled, stating he had been “struggling” at Wednesday.
Player Recognition
- Amass received the Player of the Month award for November.
- He topped the fans’ vote again for December’s Player of the Month.
Background Information
Amass joined Manchester United from Watford’s academy in 2023 and made his debut in March of the same year. He was not part of the club’s pre-season training or tour squad, as the plan was for him to gain experience through a season-long loan.
Future Prospects
Amass is at a crossroads in his career. While he has made an impact at Sheffield Wednesday, the opportunity to play for Stoke City could be a significant step forward. With the January transfer window open, both Amass and United will need to assess their options carefully.
As the situation develops, both clubs and fans are eager to see where Harry Amass will play next.
