Harry Amass, Manchester United’s highly rated young left-back, has been crowned the club’s Young Player of the Year following an impressive breakthrough season.
He has established himself as one of the brightest talents in the academy. At just 17 years old, Amass has shown maturity beyond his years, becoming a standout performer in United’s youth ranks and training regularly with the senior squad.
His recognition marks a major step forward in what has been a quietly impressive year for the teenager, who many now tip as a future first-team regular.
According to United in Focus, Amass’s rise was long anticipated internally at the club, though his senior debut was delayed under former manager Erik ten Hag.
It was only after Rúben Amorim took over that Amass began to feature more prominently in first-team plans, with the Portuguese coach reportedly impressed by the youngster’s positional awareness and composure in high-pressure sessions.
Amass joined United from Watford in 2022 and quickly progressed through the ranks.
A natural left-back with excellent ball control, speed, and vision, his performances have drawn comparisons to former United stalwarts like Patrice Evra, who also broke through at a young age and played with a similar mix of flair and discipline.
While Amass has yet to make his full competitive debut, insiders suggest that Amorim sees him as a genuine contender for a squad role next season — particularly with Luke Shaw’s injury record and Tyrell Malacia’s uncertain future creating opportunities on the left flank.
“Harry has been one of the most consistent young players this year,” said a source close to the club. “His attitude, work rate, and ability under pressure have made him stand out.”
The award places Amass in good company. Previous winners of the Young Player of the Year accolade include Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, and Mason Greenwood — all of whom went on to make significant first-team impacts.
With Manchester United undergoing a squad rebuild and prioritizing homegrown talent, Amass’s rise couldn’t come at a better time.
