Manchester United’s summer has been one of calculated risks, bold transfer moves, and last-minute decisions that have kept fans on edge.
The club’s recruitment team have been working relentlessly to shape Ruben Amorim’s squad for the season ahead, with several fringe players being lined up for valuable loan spells.
United’s focus has not only been on marquee signings but also on ensuring that their brightest prospects continue their development with regular first-team football elsewhere.
The latest twist in the transfer window involves a teenage defender who has been highly rated within Carrington for some time.
Harry Amass, United’s promising young full-back, has been aware since the beginning of pre-season that a loan switch was on the cards.
The 18-year-old was determined to gain senior minutes in the Football League, and while the plan was mapped out early, the move has dragged on until deadline day.
Sheffield Wednesday has emerged as the destination, offering Harry Amass the platform to prove himself at a senior level.

The BBC confirm that all the key aspects of the transfer have been finalised.
Harry Amass has undergone his medical, agreed terms, and with United covering his wages, there appeared to be no roadblocks.
However, Wednesday’s ongoing financial struggles mean they require Football League approval before registering any new signings.
This has left the deal in limbo, even though both clubs are in full agreement.
The EFL must now rubber-stamp the registration before Amass can be officially unveiled.
For United, it’s a delicate situation.
They are eager for one of their most talented academy products to gain first-team experience, but the uncertainty around Wednesday’s finances has introduced unnecessary complications.
The clock is ticking, but sources close to the deal remain confident the paperwork will be cleared in time.
United fans will be watching closely as another of the club’s bright young hopes awaits confirmation of his first real step into senior football.
