Harry Amass, a 17-year-old player, was named by coach Erik ten Hag on the reserve list for the match between MU and Liverpool.
The 17-year-old defender was a reserve for the MU vs Liverpool match
In the context of a serious force crisis, coach Erik ten Hag was forced to “patch up” the defense with young players. Before the match with Liverpool, MU lost all of its left-backs, and four central defenders, Varane, Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez and Evans, were all injured.
In the starting lineup, defender Willy Kambwala partners with Maguire. In the reserve list, besides Omari Forson who has made three appearances and assisted for MU, two “strange” players were also named by coach Erik ten Hag.

One was Habeeb Ogunneye, the other was Harry Amass. Among them, Amass was born in 2007, meaning he is only 17 years old this year. Three weeks ago, this left-back signed a professional contract with MU, wearing shirt number 70.
Harry Amass, born March 16, 2007 in England. This player joined the U18 MU team from Watford on July 1, 2023 and was given the opportunity to practice with the first team by coach Ten Hag. The defender, born in 2007, once played for the youth teams of England.
Sharing about Amass’s case, coach Ten Hag said: ” My choice is inspired by Busby’s children, from the 92nd generation of MU. We are also actively giving opportunities to young stars, this was part of the plan and another highlight in the club’s history.
In Kambwala’s case, I could pull a midfielder down to play centre-back. But Willy did very well, he proved many times that he could play well.”
