  "account": "Manchester United have made the decision to extend Harry Amass' contract, despite the 19-year-old left-back's bench role this season. Amass, who made his senior debut in the 2024/25 season, was praised for his 'aggressive and fearless' attitude when he joined the club. Last year, Amass spent the first half of the campaign at Sheffield Wednesday before moving to Norwich City in January, but an injury curtailed his progress at Carrow Road. After returning to Manchester United, Amass has been involved in pre-season friendlies but hasn't been used when Luke Shaw was injured, with Noussair Mazraoui and Patrick Dorgu taking his place. Despite this, United will activate their option to extend Amass' contract, which is due to expire at the end of the season, pushing the deadline back to 2028. While the extension won't guarantee a future at Old Trafford, it aims to protect the club's asset by maintaining his value. A January departure would significantly reduce his market value if sold with six months remaining on his contract.",
