Man Utd youngster, 18, to be handed first Premier League start against Newcastle

Manchester United are set to hand Harry Amass his first Premier League start on Sunday afternoon as they make the trip up to Newcastle in the Premier League

Harry Amass is set to make his first start for Manchester United as they clash with Newcastle on Sunday afternoon.

The Red Devils are making trip up to the North East without Andre Onana, with Ruben Amorim reportedly dropping him from the first team after his Lyon horror show in the week.

And Amorim has made a second big call, handing Amass, 18, his first start as part of the first-team, according to the Daily Mail. Amass made his debut before the international break - coming off the bench against Leicester City.

The full-back arrived from Watford in the summer of 2023, having made his way through the youth teams. And he's impressed in the U19s and U23s for the Red Devils since the move.

Amorim hinted at the call after United's draw with Lyon: "There is a great responsibility. We don't have a team that is really big and then we have players that I know cannot make 90 minutes in this moment. We have to be really careful.

"So we will try to address all these subjects in the game against Newcastle. But we have a great responsibility when we play any games. I will try to look at that, that is for sure.

"We have to face Newcastle with a team that we can be competitive to win the game.

"Sometimes winning games is the best way of preparing for the next one. Of course, I am going to be careful with some players but again we need to be competitive.

"When you are playing for Manchester United you cannot go to the game thinking about the next one.

"So we are going to face this one and then we have three days. We are going to prepare for the next one (against Lyon) without a lot of running and a lot of training.

"It's just recovering and then we will be fine on Thursday with our fans. But we need to face Newcastle in a way that we can win."
