Who knows, the best he can do is prove everyone wrong.
Same. Carrick seems willing to trust the youth to a certain extent so maybe if the opponent is weak enough he'll get a chance?Why is that? Have we blocked someone from buying him? Doesn't sound like the price set was high.
I would be really, really surprised if he got any significant minutes this season. The problem is we have a lot of players that CAN play LB, and most likely all will be ahead of Amass in the pecking order. I doubt he gains anything by staying here. Especially that the club apparently wanted him sold, probably he isn't rated that high.
I don't get it though. He was quite alright in pre-season, especially against Leeds. I get that we shouldn't use him against the fastest wingers, but otherwise he should be good enough to rotate with Shaw, no?Seems pretty clear that he isnt rated by the manager, and so I suspect even with a lack of options he still wont see any senior minutes.
Shaw, Mazraoui, Dalot and probably even Martinez likely ahead of him for minutes at LB and who knows maybe even Dorgu too. Yoro emerging as a legitimate option at RB means we can spare Dalot or Maz over at LB too.

Attacking I think he'll be fine, it's his defense that will be the question. For someone his age he's good defensively, but if you take age out of it he's probably average to below average defensively compared to the rest of the PL. Combination of inexperience, overall speed and burst, and lack of strength is what makes him poor defensively. I think if he was in the Championship it'd be a different story or even if he was somewhere like Spain or Germany he'd be fine but in bigger faster leagues he'll get caught out. But what he does have is a bit of a mean streak and he's not afraid to get into tackles, and he's got enough confidence to not get rattled.Can't say I've seen much of Amass. Does he have the strengths to step up for those who have?
Was he? Just quick glance at post match comments and he isn't getting good reviews. General consensus was "he was an easy target" and "lacks physicality".I don't get it though.

I thought he was good until they used an exceptionally fast winger (I think it was Gnonto?) and didn't have the LW (was it Rashford?) helping him defensively, leaving him exposed. In the first half he was very impressive, playing good passes, tackled well, etc. Seemed to be capable of playing against a EPL team, unlike Tyler Fletcher for example. So for cup games and against a team like Sabah I think he should be tested.Was he? Just quick glance at post match comments and he isn't getting good reviews.

Personally I don't see him against Premier League and Champions League opponnents, and we're not going to play many games against lower tier opposition. Don't see him getting game time this season. Should have been sold for the sake of kids career.
I think he could be an option against lower tier opponents in the CL. Premier League I think is not for him in terms of pace and physicality, where he is clearly lacking and crucial for fullback. He is good on the ball that's for sure.I thought he was good until they used an exceptionally fast winger (I think it was Gnonto?) and didn't have the LW (was it Rashford?) helping him defensively, leaving him exposed.

Really depends on the oppontent, but CL and cup games could slowly prepare him for the physicality (also meeds bulk up). I think his technique could eventually compensate his physical flaws. It's not like every good EPL fullback has good physique.I think he could be an option against lower tier opponents in the CL.
