Harry Amass: Why United and Sheffield Wednesday are yet to strike deal over extended stay | OneFootball

Manchester United and Sheffield Wednesday remain in talks over extending Harry Amass’ loan spell, and it has now been revealed why an agreement between the two clubs hasn’t been reached.

United open to extending Amass’ loan stay

Since joining Wednesday on the final day of the summer transfer window, Amass has been on an upward trajectory in terms of his development.

Since his debut, which lasted 68 minutes, Amass has started all of Wednesday’s subsequent 11 fixtures. He has nailed down the left-wing-back position under Henrik Pedersen, who has repeatedly spoken glowingly of the United talent and his sky-high potential.

United initially agreed for Amass to stay with Wednesday until January, which means the Red Devils retain the option to recall him.

Due to Wednesday’s financial troubles, United are covering the costs of Amass’ loan move, including his wages.

A report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that Ruben Amorim’s side have no desire to bring Amass back to Old Trafford. They are satisfied with his progress at Wednesday and don’t want to disrupt it.

However, an agreement over a longer stay at Hillsborough has yet to be found and according to The Star, this is because there are details that need to be adjusted.

Amass delay explained

The Star point out, “Some weeks on, The Star’s understanding of the situation per sources is that though all parties appear content with the progress of the loan, no solid agreement between the two clubs has yet been made and talks are ongoing.”

“It is believed that the loan will have to be re-jigged in order for Amass to stay on at S6 and it is hoped this can be achieved.”

Pedersen has consistently maintained that he wants to keep Amass until the end of the season. It sounds like an agreement is still on track and a compromise will eventually be struck.

It’s understood that there are plans to promote Amass and fellow loanee Radek Vitek to the United first team next season. Vitek is also doing well in the Championship with Bristol City.

Wednesday currently lie at the bottom of the table after they were hit with a points deduction.
