Luke Shaw names Man Utd wonderkid as the one young player fans need to watch out for next season as he plans to retire his position for him.

Manchester United has a storied history of developing football legends through their academy, with names like David Beckham, Gary Neville, Marcus Rashford, Paul Scholes, and Bobby Charlton gracing the sport. In a recent interview with GOAL, current United and England full-back Luke Shaw spotlighted a young talent for fans to watch: Harry Amass.

Harry Amass, a young left-back, joined Manchester United’s youth ranks from Watford’s academy last August and has since made a significant impact. For the U18 side, Amass has scored once and provided four assists in 22 matches. In April, he was named on the bench for United’s Premier League clash against Liverpool, which ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw.

When asked to name a young player to watch out for, Shaw responded, “He’s a young left-back from Man Utd, Harry Amass.” Shaw’s endorsement of Amass highlights the potential and talent seen in the youngster, indicating a bright future ahead for the young defender.

Meanwhile, Shaw is currently on international duty, having been selected to represent England at Euro 2024. Despite struggling with an injury that has kept him out of action for United since February, Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate decided to take a chance on him.

Ahead of the tournament, Southgate remarked on the pressure of international football: “If we don’t win, I probably won’t be here anymore. So maybe it is the last chance. I think around half the national coaches leave after a tournament – that’s the nature of international football. I’ve been here almost eight years now and we’ve come close.”

Luke Shaw’s recommendation of Harry Amass underscores the ongoing tradition of Manchester United’s academy in producing top-tier football talent. With Shaw’s endorsement and Amass’s promising performances, fans have a new name to follow as the young left-back continues to develop and strive for a spot in the first team.
