Manchester United management maintains skepticism over youth left-back Harry Amass
Summary

Manchester United remains unconvinced about the readiness of 19-year-old left-back Harry Amass for regular first-team appearances. Despite a strong pre-season, the Carrington graduate has not featured in a Premier League matchday squad during the current campaign. Head coach Michael Carrick is utilizing Patrick Dorgu, Noussair Mazraoui, and Diogo Dalot as primary defensive options for the position. While the club declined loan offers for Amass on deadline day, internal doubts persist regarding his long-term prospects. The teenager continues to train with the first team, participating in sessions ahead of the upcoming match against Everton. He faces an ongoing challenge to earn minutes under the current coaching staff as the club balances competition across four different tournaments.
