Stoke City have made contact about signing Man United defender Harry Amass in this month\u2019s transfer window,\u00a0sources have told Football Insider.<\/strong><\/p>\n The left-back, 18, is currently on loan at Sheffield Wednesday<\/a>, but the deal is due to expire after this weekend\u2019s game against Queens Park Rangers<\/a>.<\/p>\n Stoke<\/a> have expressed an interest to Manchester United<\/a> about taking Amass<\/a> on loan for the second half of the season. Meanwhile, Wednesday are hoping to extend Amass\u2019 spell at Hillsborough.<\/p>\n Amass was one of three players criticised by Ruben Amorim<\/a> last month, with the Manchester United manager claiming that the youngster is \u201cstruggling in the Championship.\u201d<\/p>\n Amorim was slammed for his comments about Amass<\/a>, which were proven untrue when the left-back won player of the month at Hillsborough. <\/p>\n Manchester United are unlikely to end Amass\u2019 time at Wednesday<\/a>, with the full-back enjoying a strong season at Hillsborough.<\/p>\n Amid huge financial issues under previous owner Dejphon Chansiri<\/a>, Wednesday have been hit by several point deductions this season.<\/p>\n MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n The Owls sit at the foot of the Championship<\/a> table, with their minus seven points all but guaranteeing their relegation to League One<\/a> at the end of the season. <\/p>\n But despite his team\u2019s form, Amass has enjoyed a strong spell under Henrik Pedersen this season. <\/p>\n The defender put in a sparkling performance as Wednesday earned a clean sheet and a point in their 0-0 draw with Blackburn Rovers<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n Amass made three tackles, three interceptions, 11 recoveries, was fouled four times, and won 13 of his 16 duels in the contest. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n While the 18-year-old certainly looks ready to feature for a team further up the league, Manchester United will be hesitant to interrupt his strong form. <\/p>\n Stoke City in need of a lift in January<\/p>\n Stoke had started the season in tremendous fashion, but now find themselves stuck in a real rut. <\/p>\n The Potters have lost seven of their last 10 games in the Championship and were lucky to only lose by one goal against Sheffield United<\/a> at the Bet365 Stadium on Monday. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Shortly after half-time, Mark Robins<\/a>\u2018 side were down 2-0, with Ben Wilmot<\/a>\u2018s goal ultimately proving meaningless. <\/p>\n![\"Mark](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Mark-Robins-1-1024x576.png\")
