Luke Shaws natural successor demands exit to further his career, United have a dilemma – report

Harry Amass has a bright chance to force his way into Manchester United’s plans for next season. According to reports regarding the Red Devils’ transfer plans, signing a left-back is on the agenda this summer. Push for a left-back signing Two factors are influencing this transfer. Patrick Dorgu has been a massive hit in a wing role, and there is now talk that he is set to be used on the left wing, a tactical tweak that the Dane and his entourage are embracing. In fact, if they had their own way, they would have him playing as a right winger. Dorgu’s role change, coupled with Luke Shaw needing competition at left-back, opens the door for that transfer. Splashing the cash on a new left-back is what is expected, but United want to give Amass a chance in pre-season to show whether he is ready for a key role. Harry Amass an option at left-back The 19-year-old had a brilliant first half of last season, impressing on loan at Sheffield Wednesday despite the Championship side’s struggles. However, as fantastic as he was with the Owls, making 22 starts, INEOS felt a change of environment mid-season, moving to a better-performing Championship side, would benefit his development. Unfortunately, he made only one appearance for Norwich before picking up a serious hamstring injury that ruled him out for the rest of the season. That injury significantly disrupted his development, making pre-season pivotal in determining where he will play his football next season. However, according to The Sun, the young full-back, who MEN’s Josh Holland said had “incredible upper strength to storm past challenges” on the wing, appears to have made a decision about next season. Transfer request made The UK outlet is reporting: “Manchester United left back Harry Amass wants to head back out on loan next season.” While the report also emphasises that Michael Carrick will watch Amass closely in pre-season to judge where he fits into his plans, another loan exit could yet make sense. His development last season was disrupted, and if he feels he needs to go out and prove himself ready, it may well be worth a shot. Being in the final year of his United contract, though there is an option to extend his deal by a year, next season will be key for Amass in sealing his fate as a Red Devil. Hopefully, wherever he plays, he kicks on and takes his game to the next level.
