MANCHESTER UNITED wonderkid Harry Amass is being targeted by Premier League rivals Aston Villa, reports suggest.
Amass, 17, has been considered as a very promising young prospect at United ever since his arrival from Watford in 2023.

The left-back impressed former manager Erik ten Hag, who called him up to train with the first team in February.
Ten Hag also issued the England Under-18 international his first ever senior call-up with the Red Devils.
Amass was included in the matchday squad against Liverpool in April but remained an unused substitute.
However, the teenage sensation has yet to play for the senior squad and mostly featured for Man Utd‘s Under-18s and Under-21s last season.
According to TEAMtalk, that has led to to interest from Villa who are monitoring developments around the young defender.
The Villans have been keeping tabs on Amass since last year when they missed out on his signature by losing the bidding war to United.
The full-back is under contract until 2027 and the Manchester giants would probably not welcome any interest in the youngster.
However, reports suggest Man Utd may look to strengthen at left-back despite Amass impressing during pre-season.

Plus, both Ten Hag and former interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy wouldn’t use him despite injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.
But Ten Hag was sacked last month and Van Nistelrooy will not be included in new manager Ruben Amorim’s coaching staff.
Amorim is planning to try new things at Old Trafford and could continue the same tactics he used at Sporting Lisbon that saw him fielding three defenders at the back.
But in order for that formation to work the Portuguese tactician will need very capable wing-backs, which could create an opportunity for Amass.
