Manchester United freezes Harry Amass departure pending left-back signing

Manchester United has placed the potential departure of academy product Harry Amass on hold as the club searches for a left-back signing before the transfer deadline. With only hours remaining in the window, the club intends to secure a replacement before allowing the 19-year-old to leave. Amass had been linked with a move to Burnley, though reports indicate those negotiations have ended. Other clubs including West Ham, Birmingham City, and Norwich City remain potential destinations for the teenager if United successfully recruits a new player for the position. United previously missed out on targets including Lewis Hall and Myles Lewis-Skelly. The recruitment team is currently examining several short-term options to address the defensive depth concerns before the window closes.
