Harry John Amass (born 16 March 2007) is an English professional footballer currently playing as a left-back for Manchester United.
Having joined Watford at the age of nine, [4] Amass was included in a first-team squad for the first time in January 2023, at the age of fifteen, when he was named on the bench for an FA Cup third-round fixture against fellow Championship side Reading, though he did not feature in Watford's 2–0 away loss on 7 January.

In March 2023, English newspaper The Evening Standard reported that Premier League side Manchester United were close to agreeing a deal with Amass, beating rivals Chelsea to the player's signature. [6] Watford offered Amass a new deal the following month, but in June of the same year, it was reported that a four-year deal had been agreed with Manchester United, with the clubs to agree on a compensation fee for the move.

Amass was called up to first-team training with Manchester United for the first time in February 2024. [10] On 7 April that year, he got a first spot on the bench for United against Liverpool, though did not play. [11]
Having represented England at under-15 level, [2] Amass was called up to the under-16 squad for a UEFA Development Tournament in Cyprus in February 2023. [12] He helped the side win the tournament, beating hosts Cyprus, as well as Scotland and Denmark. [5]
On 20 May 2024, Amass was included in the England squad for the 2024 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. [13] He came off the bench as a substitute during the quarter-final and scored his penalty as England were eliminated by Italy on penalties. [14]
