Manchester United have made the decision to carry on their star players on loan – and amid an impressive season in the Championship, Harry Amass may be one of their most important players.
Sheffield Wednesday are in talks to keep Manchester United youngster Harry Amath at the club until the end of the season. The 18-year-old’s spell at the struggling Championship club is now set to end on Sunday lunchtime against QPR at Loftus Road.
The on-loan star has been a shining light in difficult times for Hillsborough. Amas appeared in 20 games for the Owls, playing just one minute under coach Henrik Pedersen.
The young star’s impressive performances have led to more clubs taking an interest in his situation, with only days remaining on his initial contract with United on Wednesday. Stoke and Millwall were named as two of the 12 clubs interested in signing Amath in January.
However, the player was very happy in Wednesday’s match and United may decide not to disrupt his momentum during the campaign. Pedersen on Wednesday confirmed talks were underway to sign the Yorkshire club’s November Player of the Month award winner. Communication is taking place between United and Amass representatives on Wednesday.

“There are conversations going on between the club and my agent, so I really hope that we can reach some final conclusion soon,” Pedersen said on Friday. “Of course we want to keep him.
“He’s done really, really well. He’s 18 years old, he’s played so many games and at what level he’s played. Of course the young guy has a lot to learn, but it was great for him to play for us.”
The Owls are in a difficult position to do any transfer business as they remain in government and are waiting for a takeover. The club is in talks with the English Football League to establish what is possible in the coming weeks.
For now, Wednesday is expected to be limited to free agents and non-fee loan deals. The club operates under a fee restriction ban, which means they are not allowed to sign players for pay until the end of the 2027 winter transfer window.
“I am aware that there is a dialogue going on between clubs and the EFL at the moment and I hope we get an answer soon. I hope that something can be done to give the players some support. There is dialogue going on at the moment but we need clarity on what we can do.”
