Following Thursday’s highs, Manchester United was brought back to earth on Sunday when Wolverhampton Wanderers defeated Ruben Amorim’s team 1-0 at Old Trafford to seal the Premier League double.

After stating that the club’s focus will now be on the Europa League rather than the English top flight, the head coach announced a significantly altered squad, and the performance levels reflected this.

It was up to the Academy kids to provide the team’s assault momentum because the older players were all in complete disarray and without any sense of urgency.

Harry Amass, who began at left wingback with Luke Shaw given a break following his midweek efforts, was one such player who made an impression on the day.

Impressive handling the ball, Amass

Additionally, the 18-year-old had remarkable skill with the ball at his feet, recording 71 touches and 42 passes out of 47 attempts, which translated into an astounding 89% passing accuracy.

Additionally, he completed four passes into the final third, including a crucial one (all stats by sofascore).

Although Rasmus Hojlund’s lack of anticipation prevented any of the former Watford starlet’s three balls into the box from finding their target, he was not afraid to deliver crosses into the box.

Forceful defense

The England U18 international won three fouls while completing 100% of his dribbles and appearing dangerous whenever he advanced with the ball.

Amass won two tackles and made three clearances, demonstrating his equally aggressive defensive play.

He made seven ball recovery and won nine duels overall.

He made his second straight Premier League start, and Amorim will have been happy with his performance.

“They deserve better since Tyler [Fredricson] and Harry [Amass] both played incredibly well. We were the superior team; we performed well and generated opportunities, but the opposition had one last-minute chance and scored.

There will undoubtedly be more league and Europa League minutes in the upcoming weeks.
