Manchester United prospect Harry Amass is making a positive impression on loan at Sheffield Wednesday.
A week ago Harry Amass made his Sheffield Wednesday debut, and it got off to an unfortunate start when he deflected a shot into his own goal after just six minutes.
He did not complete his debut against Bristol City, sustaining a little knock, but Owls boss Henrik Pedersen said he was pleased with the Manchester United loanee’s performance.
Pedersen backed up his words with his actions, he selected Amass as a starter against Portsmouth, and he was repaid with a superb display.
Amass played 90 minutes in a 2-0 away win for the Owls, their first Championship victory of the season.

Harry Amass clinched his loan to Sheffield Wednesday on transfer deadline day and did not get a pre-season to acclimatise to his new club. Instead he was thrown straight into the deep end.
Amass joins a struggling Owls side dealing with off-pitch turmoil that has left them depleted on the pitch.
And as a result, fans have quickly taken to the Manchester United loanee.
One wrote on X: “Amass is some player,” with another adding: “What a lad Amass is.”
A third fan wrote: “Thank you so much for Harry Amass @ManUtd.”
Another supporter also noted: “Can see why Amass is at Man Utd.”
And another Owls fan posted: “How good is that Amass btw? Looks like he’s played pro football for a decade.”
There was heavy competition for Amass’ signature this summer, and this promising start shows why.
Harry Amass numbers for Sheffield Wednesday vs Portsmouth
Amass, 18, managed 57 touches in total from the left wing-back position, with Sheffield Wednesday playing with a back three.
He created one goalscoring chance, and was prolific in terms of his defensive contributions.
Amass made 11 ball recoveries, 8 clearances, 5 interceptions, 1 tackle and 1 block, while winning 8 duels in total.
The Championship can be a tough league for young players to adapt to, but Amass showed the level of grit required to become a major hit.
The teenager made his Manchester United debut under Ruben Amorim last season, and needs this loan to be a success to get back into the head coach’s plans.
