Manchester United is reportedly set to finalize the transfer of 19-year-old Harry Amass to a club for around £7 million, with potential add-ons. The move is part of United's shift towards monetizing its academy talent following the recent exit of goalkeeper Radek Vitek to Middlesbrough for approximately £14 million.

Monitoring of player performances and markets will play a critical role in future transfer decisions.
