“We have found another young star just like Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho. He plays even better than Luke Shaw. His spead and dribbles are incredibly insane. This was why Manchester Haven’t signed any left back despite the issues they had in that position the previous season”-Utd fans convinced they’ve found long-term answer to defensive problems after ‘pre-season masterclass’ vs Real Betis.
A promising talent from Manchester United’s prestigious academy is expected to feature prominently in the first team soon, following a standout performance during the pre-season.
Erik ten Hag’s squad achieved a 3-2 win over Real Betis on Wednesday, with goals from Marcus Rashford, Amad Diallo, and Casemiro marking their first success in the U.S. pre-season tour. This match not only highlighted the team’s overall strengths but also spotlighted individual talents like Amad Diallo.
Diallo, who recently reaffirmed his commitment to Old Trafford, impressed the San Diego crowd, strengthening the argument for his inclusion in the starting lineup for their Premier League opener against Fulham. His exceptional display showcased his readiness for top-tier competition.
Other players also made notable impressions at Snapdragon Stadium. Among them was 17-year-old full-back Harry Amass, who has drawn comparisons to Luke Shaw due to his similar style of play. Amass, who was part of United’s squad against Liverpool in April, delivered a composed and effective performance against Betis, particularly in offensive positions.
The reaction on social media to Amass’ performance was overwhelmingly positive. One fan commented, “I was a fan before, but he looks even better at the first-team level than I anticipated. I’m concerned about his physical capacity due to his age, so I wouldn’t want him playing more than ten 90-minute matches, or fifteen at most. He also needs to improve his heading, but he’s a great player, and I really like him.”
Another fan praised, “He’s genuinely incredible. He’s going to be a crucial player for us in the future. His stamina is impressive, and I love how he consistently supports in overlapping runs. He reminds me of Luke Shaw.” This view was echoed by another supporter who said, “It’s amazing how similar he is to Shaw,” while another added, “The fact that he’s only 17 is astonishing. We’ve got a serious talent on our hands.”
Further acclaim came from another observer, who noted, “If you’re good enough, you’re old enough. Amass is READY. While there were concerns about his height and physicality going into pre-season, he has handled these issues well. His ability to play under pressure and anticipate second balls is top-notch, along with his movements on and off the ball. Though his passing has some rough edges, he evades pressure exceptionally well. Carrington has provided us with a gem, potentially saving us from spending on a left-back since Mazraoui and Dalot can cover that position.”
Luke Shaw himself was asked which young player fans should watch, and he responded, “He’s a young left-back from Man United. Harry Amass.” Shaw’s endorsement, coupled with Amass’ pre-season performances, has garnered significant attention from both fans and analysts.
At just 17, Harry Amass is making notable strides at Manchester United. His on-field maturity and composure under pressure have earned him high praise. With enthusiastic reviews and expectations from both fans and senior players like Shaw, Amass is set to play a key role for United in the near future. His development and contributions will be closely watched as the season progresses.
