Harry Amass wins MU coveted Young Player of the Year after breakthrough season

Harry Amass has been named Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year of Manchester United after a breakthrough season for the talented defender.

Amass, 18, got his first performance for the senior side of the bank in the victory in Leicester in March before he made his full debut in the defeat of Newcastle last month.

The left back has since started four Premier League matches under Ruben Amorim and plays 90 minutes in the losses in Brentford and at home at West Ham. He also played in the Home Europa League matches against Lyon and Athletic Club.

The teenager arrived in United from Watford in 2023 and flourished with both the teams under 18 and under-21.

While Erik ten Hag was in charge, Amass trained routinely with the first team and made the bank for a number of first team matches.

This season, Amass also represented the U18s of England, where he has established the young lions against Portugal in March.

I think [the debut] Was a sense of relief, “Amass said recently. 'I waited for a long time, patiently, so when it finally happened, I got into the dressing room and I took it all.

'When I signed for the first time, it was about developing as a player, getting better, what I think I did; It was about enjoying my football, which I think I did with all the experiences and the trophies, and then it was about getting first team of football. And that came too.

'So I think all the reasons I have signed have happened. The following is to keep working hard, to show that people can trust me and that I am a good person from the field and I am a good player. Keep giving my best and hopefully getting more minutes. '

Amass joins a prestigious list of winners of the Young Player of the Year Award, named after the legendary coach Jimmy Murphy of United.

Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo are among the stars that have received the prize.
