Manchester United youngster Harry Amass is expecting to make his loan debut this coming weekend.
After being moved down the pecking order following the signing of Diego Leon, youngster Harry Amass has left Manchester United on loan in pursuit of first team football.
Amass has signed on loan with Sheffield Wednesday for the season, and it is his first move away from United since he signed from Watford in 2023.
The defender could be in line to make his Championship debut this weekend when Sheffield Wednesday face Bristol City, where United loanee Radek Vitek has been starring.

Sheffield Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen has provided an update on Harry Amass’ loan move so far.
He says that he has been encouraged by what he has seen from Harry Amass in training, and that he has settled in off the pitch too.
Pedersen told BBC Radio Sheffield: “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.”
The Owls manager explained that Amass has met ‘expectations’ so far, and he is glad to have the 18-year-old on board.
“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.”
Thankful to Manchester United
Sheffield Wednesday began the summer under transfer embargo, a situation that necessitated their need to add to their squad late in the window – opening up an opportunity for Harry Amass.
Amass made his first team debut for Manchester United last season, even playing in the Europa League in knockout games.
Pedersen says he is thankful for Manchester United for facilitating the move, with the Red Devils paying Amass’ wages.
He said: “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.
“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.”
