Man Utd fans go wild as highlights emerge of 17-year-old who’s ‘going to be called upon so much’ after Arsenal clash
MANCHESTER UNITED youngster Harry Amass has impressed fans after his performance against Arsenal on Saturday night.
The 17-year-old showed off his technical ability in Los Angeles despite the Red Devils losing 2-1 to the Gunners in the pre-season friendly.

The trust Erik ten Hag has in Amass was clear to see when he started the teen against Mikel Arteta‘s side.
And he lived up to expectations, with a video showcasing the defender’s impressive press resistance and attacking drive during the game.
To which one fan said: “He’s going to be called upon so much this season with Shaw and Malacia.”
While another compared him to Shaw: “His control, runs, quick pass…..so much like Shaw!. Hope he doesn’t get loaned.”
A third then put: “Harry will play a part this season.”
And a fourth added: “The future is looking good.”
Amass can expect an ever-increasing role in the next two games as he and fellow youngster Sam Murray, 19, are the only two natural left-backs on the pre-season tour.
Shaw is still Ten Hag’s first choice but his injury worries and uncertainty over Tyrell Malacia means the field is wide open for Amass.

He got his first spot on the bench for United against Liverpool in April but did not play.
Ten Hag’s side next face Real Betis on July 31 before Amass takes on the Reds in North Carolina on August 3.
