Sheffield Wednesday boss outlines key improvement Harry Amass must make to fully explode | OneFootball

Sheffield Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen has told Manchester United loanee Harry Amass exactly what he needs to do to fully unleash his potential.

Amass flourishing at Wednesday

Since joining Wednesday on a season-long loan during the summer transfer window, Amass has been a key player for the Championship outfit.

The Carrington academy graduate has made eight consecutive starts for Wednesday since his debut last month.

He produced a good performance on Saturday, despite the Owls slipping to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Oxford United.

Amass slotted at left-wing-back and during the time he was on the pitch, registered an 81% individual pass accuracy, won six ground duels and came out on top in three aerial challenges that he contested.

After the final whistle, Pedersen admitted to being impressed with Amass, although he insisted the youngster must give an extra five per cent to truly take off.

Pedersen’s assessment of Amass

Pedersen told The Star about Amass, “He has a very, very big potential for sure. He also has a lot to learn, the young man.”

“But he is in the process of learning to be a Championship player. We have to remember he has played some Premier League games but not so much. He has played a lot of Under-21s football.”

The Wednesday boss continued, “But he has never ever played three games at Championship level before with this intensity, and this is also what he has said himself: ‘Oh, it’s so tough’.”

“Everything is with high intensity, all the attacks. He can do nothing with 95 per cent because then it is not enough.”

“But how he has improved and how he has learnt, it is fantastic. He is, right now, in the process to go, not from a kid, but from a young man to a man who can play Championship football. It is a tough development, but he keeps on going, and we will support him.

Amass and Wednesday are next in action on Saturday when they go away to West Brom.
