Just in: 19yo Man Utd wonderkid now wants loan exit, Carrick faces difficult decision

Manchester United have a big decision to make over the future of one of their academy stars.

According to The Sun, Harry Amass wants to head back out on loan next season.

Amass is eager to secure regular playing time in the second tier again next term.

The report also claims that senior figures at United have not ruled out keeping him as direct competition for Luke Shaw at left-back.

The 19-year-old made his senior debut for the Red Devils under former head coach Ruben Amorim in 2025.

He made a total of seven appearances before United sent him on loan to Sheffield Wednesday at the start of the 2025-26 season.

Despite the club enduring a difficult season on and off the pitch, Amass quickly established himself as an impressive attacking wing-back.

His performances attracted attention and convinced United that he was ready for an even bigger challenge.

The club recalled him in January before arranging a second loan spell with Norwich City for the remainder of the season.

The talented defender made just one appearance before suffering a serious hamstring injury that ended his campaign.

Unfortunately, his time at Carrow Road was cut short almost immediately.

Amass currently has one year remaining on his United contract, although the club retain the option to extend the agreement by a further 12 months.

Ideally, the Red Devils would like to secure his long-term future before sanctioning another temporary move away from the club.

The teenager believes he needs regular first-team football to continue his development.

However, there is also a realistic possibility that manager Michael Carrick could offer him opportunities in the first team next season.

United will return to the UEFA Champions League after a two-year absence and squad depth will become more important than ever.

Luke Shaw started every Premier League game last season, but expecting him to maintain that workload across multiple competitions would be risky.

Amass will have a golden opportunity to stake his claim during pre-season.

If he can impress Carrick and his coaching staff, the need for another loan spell could disappear altogether.
