Manchester United talent Harry Amass is in the tail end of his Sheffield Wednesday loan spell and an update has emerged around his future at the Championship side.
Sheffield Wednesday signed Harry Amass on deadline day and the 18-year-old Manchester United left-back’s loan deal with the club will expire in January.
Which Manchester United academy midfielder are you most excited about?
Amass, who is viewed as the heir-apparent to United left-back Luke Shaw at Old Trafford, has impressed during his spell at the Hillsborough Stadium so far.
The on-loan United youth academy product has made 13 appearances in the Championship in the 2025-26 season and has netted once for Sheffield Wednesday.
Amass has started in all 13 of his performances for Sheffield Wednesday and the United talent has been afforded the invaluable chance to secure first-team minutes.

According to reports, Manchester United and Sheffield Wednesday had agreed to an extension of Harry Amass’ stay at the Hillsborough Stadium for the current season.
However, the Sheffield Star’s Alex Miller has now explained that no current agreement – at the time of writing – has been struck over Amass’ future.
“I think so, and there sort of were reports that [it] had been already agreed [but] that that’s not my understanding,” he told the ‘United! United! United!’ YouTube channel.
“I think, you know, that there is an acceptance at both ends of the deal and from the player himself that things are going really well. You know, in terms of his development.
“But there is a little way to go in terms of renewing that loan and the term, you know, we spoke on the show previously about the terms [for] Harry and what United are contributing to that loan.”
Do you want to see Lisandro Martinez make his return against the team he got injured against? 💔

Now he could make an emotional return to action against the same opponent… 🙏

Alex Miller added that the situation around Amass is also complex because of a potential takeover for the club after it fell into administration in October.
“But there is a period of uncertainty now in that Sheffield Wednesday don’t know who their owners are going to be,” he continued.
“And they don’t know what’s going to be available and what direction those owners may want things to take.
“So, I think until that is clearer, not necessarily ‘til it’s done and dusted, but until that’s a little clearer, it’s difficult to sort that loan out.”
What could likely happen next for Man Utd left-back Harry Amass amid Sheffield Wednesday’s takeover bid news
Ruben Amorim allowed Amass to leave Old Trafford and has been mainly relying on Patrick Dorgu and Diogo Dalot as his main left wing-back options this season.
Alex Miller suggested that he could see United and Sheffield Wednesday agreeing to extend the loan of Amass before his deal with the club expires in January 2026.

“I would expect it at this stage to get renewed,” he explained.
“I think that’s probably the right thing for Harry. I’d say, you know, to get [a] full season of, like I say, those three-game Championship weeks, you know, straight off the back of a Sheffield derby, you’re going down to Millwall on Wednesday.
“You know, these are the weeks that build character and then when he goes back to Old Trafford, hopefully, he can make a real stab at it.”
Amass made his Premier League debut under United manager Ruben Amorim in the 2024-25 Premier League campaign on his 18th birthday back in March.
