Manchester United are preparing to agree a new loan move for highly rated left-back Harry Amass after his stint at Sheffield Wednesday came to an early end. The 18-year-old is set to leave Hillsborough despite enjoying a breakthrough spell in the Championship, prompting United to line up another club where he can continue his development at a high level.



Amass’ loan at Sheffield Wednesday is regarded inside Old Trafford as a major success. He quickly became a regular starter, featuring in the vast majority of the club’s league fixtures and completing close to the full 90 minutes in most matches. His consistent performances, which included both solid defensive work and contributions in attack, have significantly raised his profile and underlined his potential to become a first-team option for United in the future.

On the back of that progress, United are understood to be planning a new contract for Amass to secure his long-term future before sanctioning another temporary move. The club’s hierarchy believe he should now be tested in an even more competitive environment, ideally at the top end of the Championship, though all options remain open as they weigh various proposals.

Several Championship sides have already expressed interest in taking Amass on loan, encouraged by how quickly he adapted to senior football and by United’s willingness to find him the right platform. While Sheffield Wednesday had hoped to extend his stay, United are now prioritising a move that aligns more closely with their long-term plan for the player.

The decision over his next club is expected to be made soon, with United keen to maintain the momentum of his development. Whatever the final destination, Amass is viewed as one of the standout prospects of his age group, and the upcoming loan is considered a key step in preparing him for a future role at Old Trafford.
