Sheffield Wednesday boss Henrik Pedersen has said he is “really happy” with new signing Harry Amass.
The 18-year-old joined on a season-long loan from Manchester United on transfer deadline day and could be in contention to make his debut as the Owls host Bristol City on Saturday.
Amass’ arrival is a significant one because, given transfer restrictions, the left-back was the only senior outfield player brought into the club over the summer window.
“He feels really well, when I speak with him and see him on the pitch, I see a concentrated and happy boy, who likes his new life in Sheffield and he’s doing really well.” Pedersen told BBC Radio Sheffield.
“You always have expectations before when you’re choosing players, but it feels like he feels really well and I’m really happy that he’s in,” he said.
Pedersen also expressed his gratitude to Manchester United for seeing the potential for Amass at Hillsborough.
Amass had made seven senior appearances for United and been capped from England Under-15 through to U18 level.
“I think we have to be proud, and we have to be very thankful, because what they have done for us is fantastic and big respect for what they have done,” he added.
“I’m proud because they could see that Sheffield Wednesday could be a good space and a good club for Harry and the trust they have in this direction, and on the other hand what that has done for us, it’s a big respect, and thanks.”
