Harry Amass (born 16 March 2007) is an English professional footballer currently playing as a left-back for Manchester United.

Club career[edit]

Having joined Watford at the age of nine,[3] Amass was included in a first-team squad for the first time in January 2023, at the age of fifteen, when he was named on the bench for an FA Cup third-round fixture against fellow Championship side Reading, though he did not feature in Watford's 2–0 away loss on 7 January.[4]

In March 2023, English newspaper The Evening Standard reported that Premier League side Manchester United were close to agreeing a deal with Amass, beating rivals Chelsea to the player's signature.[5] Watford offered Amass a new deal the following month, but in June of the same year, it was reported that a four-year deal had been agreed with Manchester United, with the clubs to agree on a compensation fee for the move.[6][7] This move was confirmed by Manchester United in August 2023.[8]

Amass was called up to first-team training with Manchester United for the first time in February 2024.[9] On 7th April that year, he got a first spot on the bench for United against Liverpool, though did not play.

International career[edit]

Having represented England at under-15 level,[10] Amass was called up to the under-16 squad for a UEFA Development Tournament in Cyprus in February 2023.[11] He helped the side win the tournament, beating hosts Cyprus, as well as Scotland and Denmark.[4]
