While rivals like Man City and Arsenal seamlessly integrate academy talents like Nico O’Reilly and Myles Lewis-Skelly into their first teams, Manchester United continues to struggle with the same pathway for players like Harry Amass.
Amass has proven his talent, winning the Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year award, shining in pre-season, and showing what he can do when given a chance. Yet, instead of building trust and giving him real minutes as a long-term successor to Luke Shaw, the club continually looks externally or stalls their momentum.
We need to actually trust our Carrington graduates instead of letting elite potential slip away. If other top clubs can rely on their academy kids on the biggest stages, why can't United do the same?
