Erik ten Hag’s Plan for Harry Amass Amid Manchester United’s Injury Woes Manchester United’s injury crisis has opened up opportunities for young players, including 17-year-old left-back Harry Amass According to reports, Erik ten Hag has tipped Amass to break into the first team, citing his impressive performances during the US summer tour.

In the summer of 2014, Manchester United made a significant investment by signing 18-year-old Luke Shaw from Southampton for £27 million. At the time, this made him one of the most expensive teenage defenders and placed him among the top four most costly defenders in football, behind David Luiz, Thiago Silva, and Rio Ferdinand.

 

United viewed Shaw as a long-term solution for the left-back position, with hopes he would serve the team for at least a decade. Despite facing various setbacks throughout his career, Shaw has proven to be a valuable addition, establishing himself as one of the best left-backs in both the Premier League and world football.

 

To date, Shaw has made 275 appearances for Manchester United and was named the club’s Player of the Year in 2019. This past summer, he played for England in the 2024 European Championship final against Spain, held in Germany.

 

As Shaw reaches a decade at Old Trafford, a new young talent has appeared—17-year-old Harry Amass, who is now emerging as potential competition for Shaw.

 

Amass, a London native, seized the opportunity to showcase his talent during Shaw’s absence in the pre-season. His performances, particularly at the beginning of the new campaign, have caught attention.

 

With Shaw recovering after his Euro 2024 stint and Tyrell Malacia sidelined since May 2023, Amass impressed during United’s pre-season tour. While manager Erik ten Hag has reservations about whether Amass is ready for top-tier football, injuries to several key players, including Mazraoui, Shaw, and Malacia, may accelerate the young player’s debut for the sen

ior team.
