Manchester United academy star Harry Amass could be heading towards the Old Trafford exit this summer.
Speaking about Amass on the latest episode of the Talk of the Devils podcast, renowned journalist Andy Mitten delivered a blunt assessment: “I cannot see a future for him in the Man United first-team this year.”
Mitten also agreed that the 19-year-old needs regular senior football to polish his raw talent and accelerate his development.
United are open to selling the academy starlet for only £6 million, with his current contract expiring next June.
The Red Devils are simultaneously exploring the market for a new left-back who can provide reliable cover for Luke Shaw.
Shaw’s injury record should be enough to convince INEOS that a Premier League-ready alternative is required.
United could face a gruelling 50-60 games next season as they return to the UEFA Champions League, making squad depth more important than ever.
Amass possesses undeniable talent and considerable potential, but he still looks some way short of being ready to start regularly for United.
Although Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui can fill in on the left, United desperately need a natural left-footer capable of overlapping and consistently delivering dangerous crosses.
With more senior experience under his belt, Amass could be the ideal solution to that problem.
The teenager spent the first half of last season gaining valuable experience on loan at Sheffield Wednesday.
Despite the off-field turmoil surrounding the Championship club, Amass produced several impressive performances and showed glimpses of his enormous potential.
United recalled him in January before immediately sending him to Norwich City for another loan spell.
However, he suffered a season-ending injury after making just one appearance for the Canaries.
Joaquin Seys and Jorge Salinas have both been linked with United, but INEOS should seriously consider making a move for Newcastle United defender Lewis Hall.
Rather than selling Amass outright, United could send him out on loan for the next six months and reassess his future when the January 2027 window opens.
