Manchester United could save millions in the transfer market by making one bold decision.
Harry Amass is regarded as one of the brightest talents emerging from Carrington.
The 19-year-old delivered a superb display during the 5-0 win over Rosenborg in their second pre-season friendly.
Manager Michael Carrick introduced him at half-time as one of only two changes, and the teenager immediately made his presence felt.
He bagged one goal and one assist, showing why United have such high hopes for his future.
Amass had the option of playing a simple pass forward to Shea Lacey, but doing so would have reduced the shooting angle.
Instead, he produced a much more ambitious low cross into the centre, where Joshua Zirkzee finished brilliantly.
Amass made it 4-0 in the 72nd minute after making another aggressive run into the box.
When Chido Obi switched play towards the right flank instead of finding Amass on the left, the full-back could easily have abandoned his run.
However, he continued charging into the penalty area and positioned himself perfectly at the far post.
Jaydan Kamason then delivered an excellent cross towards Amass, who stretched brilliantly to turn the ball into the net.
The performance could hardly have come at a better time, with United reportedly interested in Newcastle United left-back Lewis Hall.
As per The Athletic, a potential £50 million offer for Hall could test Newcastle’s resolve, but Amass may give INEOS a home-grown solution.
If the teenager continues producing performances of this quality, INEOS could redirect that money towards other areas of the squad while promoting Amass permanently to the first team.
The academy graduate has already made seven senior appearances for United under former manager Ruben Amorim, meaning he is no stranger to first-team football.
Now could be the perfect moment for Carrick and INEOS to place their faith in his ability and give him the stage to announce himself at the highest level.
