Sheffield Wednesday are facing mounting pressure and outrage from supporters after it was revealed that Manchester United can recall young full-back Harry Amass midway through the season due to a hidden clause in his loan deal.
The 17-year-old sensation, who joined the Owls on loan from United in the summer, has been one of the few bright sparks in what has been a turbulent campaign at Hillsborough. Amass’s composure, speed, and defensive intelligence have made him an instant fan favourite, with many hailing him as one of the Championship’s most promising defenders this season.
However, reports from the Manchester Evening News have confirmed that the deal includes a mid-season recall clause, meaning United can pull Amass back to Old Trafford when the transfer window opens in January. The clause states that Sheffield Wednesday must formally request an extension for the remainder of the season, but Manchester United retain the final say on whether the player stays or goes.
The news has left fans furious, with many branding the club’s handling of the deal “reckless” and “short-sighted.” Supporters have taken to social media to vent their frustrations, fearing that losing Amass could be a devastating blow in their fight for survival.
One angry fan wrote:
“Only Wednesday could let a star performer slip away because of a stupid contract clause! This club never learns!”
Another added:
> “We finally get a player who gives 100% every game, and now we might lose him in January. Disgraceful planning from the top again.”
Amass, who has been closely monitored by Manchester United’s coaching staff, is highly regarded at Carrington, and there is growing speculation that the Red Devils may want to recall him to assess his progress — or potentially loan him to a Premier League side for higher-level experience.
With Sheffield Wednesday currently battling off-field financial woes and sitting near the bottom of the Championship table, losing a key player like Amass would only deepen the crisis.
Club insiders have yet to comment on whether talks with Manchester United have begun, but fans are demanding urgent clarification from the board. The situation now hangs in the balance, with January shaping up to be a crucial month for the Owls’ season — and possibly their hopes of staying in the division.
