Insider<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The left-back is set to return to Old Trafford with his initial loan spell due to expire imminently, but the Owls are desperate to try and extend his stay until the end of the season. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Football Insider<\/strong> revealed last week that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/exclusive-stoke-city-make-contact-over-signing-man-uniteds-harry-amass\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stoke City have made contact with Manchester United over Amass<\/a>, and sources have now suggested that there are several other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/tag\/championship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Championship<\/a> clubs who are also showing an interest in the starlet.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/tag\/manchester-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">United<\/a> are considering the next move for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/tag\/harry-amass\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amass<\/a>, who has already made it clear that he has enjoyed his time at his current loan club. <\/p>\n<p>A move to a club competing at the top end of the Championship is seen as a possibility, but it is understood that \u201call options are open\u201d for both Amass and his parent club at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Success of Sheffield Wednesday loan to appeal to Man United <\/p>\n<p><a

18-year-old has started in 21 of the South Yorkshire outfit\u2019s 25 Championship games so far this season, and he has quickly become one of the first names on the team sheet under Henrik Pedersen.<\/p>\n<p>Amass has completed the full 90 minutes in all bar three of those appearances, and has even added a goal and an assist since the start of the campaign. <\/p>\n<p>The starlet earned starts in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/tag\/premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Premier League<\/a> against Wolves, Brentford and West Ham in the latter stages of the 2024-25 campaign, and it is clear that he is held in extremely high regard at Manchester United. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\"

class=\"wp-image-790765\" \/>Credit: Imago<\/p>\n<p>The Red Devils are keen to see him tested at the highest possible level, but the success of the defender\u2019s stint at Hillsborough is sure to come under consideration when choosing his next steps.<\/p>\n<p>Ruben Amorim left Man United fans fuming with Harry Amass comments<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/nasty-monster-man-united-fans-want-ruben-amorim-sacked-after-new-low-at-old-trafford\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Manchester United fans were seething with Ruben Amorim<\/a> after his comments on Amass during a press conference back in December.<\/p>\n<p>The Portuguese called out the performances of Amass and his fellow loanee <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/tag\/toby-collyer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toby Collyer<\/a>, who has recently been recalled from his stint at West Brom. <\/p>\n<p>The now departed boss insisted that Amass was \u201cstruggling\u201d in the Championship, despite the fact that he picked up back-to-back Player of the Month awards at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/tag\/sheffield-wednesday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sheffield Wednesday<\/a> in November and December.<\/p>\n<p>Their supporters have since got their wish with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballinsider247.com\/tag\/ruben-amorim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amorim<\/a> being removed from his duties on Monday, and they were quick to show support for the pair of youngsters on social media. <\/p>\n<p>Sheffield Wednesday fans have shown similar praise towards the loanee during his time with their club, and they will be desperate to see him continue with them in the second half of the campaign.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Credit: Imago) Wed 7 January 2026 11:57, UK Sheffield Wednesday are still pushing
