Sheffield Wednesday loanee Harry Amass took an indirect dig at Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim before deleting his Instagram story. The young player shared a photo with his club's Player of the Month award for November following the manager's recent comments.
Ruben Amorim's big claim on academy players
Interacting with the media ahead of the Premier League game against AFC Bournemouth, Amorim claimed that Manchester United academy player were not getting games because they were not good enough for the senior team.
He was questioned about Mainoo, when he hinted that the midfielder was not making the most of his opportunity, and the loanees were also struggling at their clubs. He said:
"It's like any other player. The door is open for any player to change my mind, but in the end, it's going to be the training, the games. Of course he's not playing so many games, but Kobs had opportunities, especially last year that everyone had. [Harry] Amass is now struggling in the Championship. Chido is not always a starter with the Under-21s. All these guys played when a lot of people were saying sack the manager!"
"So you can see that I'm not worried in that time about everybody. I'm just looking at the team and trying to win the next game and trying to think about the team. I will do that until the end. Kobs is one more player that I understand all the interest, I understand how important it is, the hopes that you English guys have. I also just want to win and if he's the right guy I will put him [in]. No problem."
