Manchester United loanee Harry Amass scored his first professional goal in his senior career on Saturday.
Currently thriving on loan at Sheffield Wednesday, Amass has been one of the few bright sparks in what has been a turbulent campaign for the Championship outfit.
The 18-year-old has started all 11 league games this season, earning plaudits for his energy and attacking intent down the flank.
Wednesday suffered a 3-1 defeat to Southampton, but Amass will remember the afternoon fondly.
The teenager seized on a poor clearance and drifted inside before firing a long-range strike past the goalkeeper into the bottom right corner.
Instead of basking in his maiden senior goal, Amass immediately turned back for the restart.
This gesture spoke volumes about his focus and mentality.
It came as a surprise to many when Ruben Amorim omitted Amass from United’s pre-season squad, especially after handing him his senior debut earlier this year.
The club decided that sending the young full-back on loan would be beneficial, considering the absence of European fixtures for United in the 2025-26 season.
The Owls have been in the news due to off-field issues, but Amass has managed to block out the noise.
He completed 42 out of 47 passes and won all three of his tackles. Despite his team conceding three goals, Amass managed to make four clearances and seven ball recoveries.
The left wing-back role has been a persistent headache for Amorim, with Diogo Dalot struggling to deliver the attacking width United crave.
If Amass continues on this upward trajectory, he could be knocking on the first-team door at Old Trafford sooner rather than later.
