Aston Villa are reportedly keen on signing 17-year-old Manchester United academy graduate Harry Amass.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Aston Villa are plotting a raid on Manchester United for Harry Amass, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. The youngster has not had too many opportunities at Old Trafford, and the England international could do with a fresh start.
A move to Aston Villa could be ideal for him especially if they are willing to offer him a clear pathway to the first team. The 17-year-old has impressed for the Manchester United youth teams, and he is highly rated at the club. It will be interesting to see if the Red Devils are willing to sanction his departure. Manchester United beat Chelsea to sign him in 2023.
The 17-year-old left-back would be a quality long-term addition for Aston Villa, and the West Midlands club would do well to secure his signature. Given his situation at Manchester United, the teenager might be available for a reasonable price, and he could prove to be a bargain for the West Midlands club in the long term. He has a contract with Manchester United until 2027.
Harry Amass might not be the ideal fit under Ruben Amorim
Manchester United have appointed Ruben Amorim as their new manager, and the Portuguese tactician prefers to use a back three instead of a back four. Therefore, Amass is not going to be an ideal choice for him tactically as well. It would be ideal for the 17-year-old to head out and join a club where he will get ample opportunities.
Aston Villa will be an attractive destination for the player. The Villans are competing in the UEFA Champions League, and they have an exciting squad. In addition to that, they have a top-class manager like Unai Emery in charge. The Spanish manager could play a key role in the development of the 17-year-old.
The young defender will be desperate for regular game time. Ample first-team exposure will be crucial to his development, and he cannot afford to sit on the bench at Old Trafford right now. It will be interesting to see if he decides to push for an exit if an official offer is submitted for him.
