Manchester United set to name Harry Amass in squad vs Liverpool amid two changes

Harry Amass is set to be included in the Manchester United matchday squad against Liverpool today.

Left back Amass, who turned 17 only last month, has trained with the first team for several weeks and is expected to be promoted to the matchday squad.

The Londoner joined United from Watford in the summer and has had an impressive season with the Under-18s, who obliterated Liverpool 9-1 on Saturday. Amass was not involved.

Amass's probable inclusion is enforced by the expected absences of defenders Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans, who were both forced off in the midweek defeat at Chelsea.

Varane started five days after he was substituted at half-time in the draw with Brentford but the centre half had to be replaced by Evans at the interval. Evans was then replaced by Willy Kambwala 20 minutes into the second half.

If Kambwala starts with Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka it will be the 26th different back four United manager Erik ten Hag has selected this season.

Winger Omari Forson is also poised to return to the matchday squad to offset the absences of Varane and Evans.

Ten Hag has named Joe Hugill, Toby Collyer and Habeeb Ogunneye on the bench without playing any of them this season. The next academy player to debut for the United first team will be the 250th.

Possible United squad: Onana, Heaton, Dalot, Kambwala, Maguire, Wan-Bissaka, Amass, Casemiro, Mainoo, Mount, Eriksen, McTominay, Amrabat, Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho, Amad, Forson, Rashford, Hojlund
