Harry Amass: Man United youngster fires back at criticism

Ruben Amorim impressed few fans yesterday with his comments during his pre-match press conference ahead of the AFC Bournemouth game.

What he said

Many supporters were outraged when the head coach threw numerous young players under the bus in a defence of the lack of minutes he has given Kobbie Mainoo.

Amorim claimed that Harry Amass was “struggling” in the Championship with Sheffield Wednesday.

He also stated that young striker Chido Obi was not always starting for the youth team and that Toby Collyer isn’t playing for West Bromwich Albion.

Recent reports also suggest the club is growing “uneasy” with Amorim’s lack of faith in the academy and his treatment of certain players.

Far from reality

Whilst it is true that Amass’ loan side Sheffield Wednesday are struggling at the bottom of the Championship, the left wing-back certainly isn’t.

Amass has been in electric form for the Owls in both attack and defence this season.

He has been in such good form that Manchester United are actually in talks with the player to secure a new deal for the exciting 18-year-old.

What’s more, Amass has impressed fans so much that he won the club’s Player of the Month award in November.

Amass reaction

The Daily Star reports that Amass responded to Amorim’s criticism with a story on his Instagram that has since been removed.

The outlet reports that, “the full-back shared a simple photo holding Wednesday’s Player of the Month award – before swiftly deleting the picture.”

Chido Obi also responded with an image of himself celebrating a goal for the academy before also taking down the photo from social media.

Perhaps Amorim’s criticism affected Amass last night, as he put in a poor performance by his standards in Sheffield Wednesday’s 0-3 home loss to Derby County.

He failed to win any tackles and also won only 33% of his ground duels. Amass also struggled in attack, failing to have any shots or complete any crosses.
