Aston Villa monitor Man United star overlooked by Erik ten Hag ahead of Ruben Amorim decision

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Aston Villa are interested in a surprise move for Manchester United defender Harry Amass. The 17-year-old joined United from Watford in August 2023 and spent most of last season in the Under 18s and Under 21s.

Amass was called up to train with the first-team in February and made the matchday squad for the first time against Liverpool in April but remained an unused substitute.

Amass was a regular in the United squad throughout the back end of the campaign but didn't end up making his senior debut. However, the London-born left-back impressed during United's pre-season tour of the United States and there was optimism that he could be handed more opportunities this season.

Ruud van Nistelrooy also chose against using Amass during his time as interim head coach. Ruben Amorim could decide to hand Amass his United debut and give him a chance to shine, but the teenager has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford.
