Manchester United are prioritising loan exits for academy stars Harry Amass and Dan Gore during the January transfer window.
The young duo have both been identified as players who would benefit greatly from a taste of senior football during the second-half of the season after their respective exploits at youth level.

Hide AdAmass, 17, was a star of last summer's pre-season schedule under former manager Erik ten Hag but was not deemed physical enough to ever be given a chance in the Premier League. The teenage left-back has been named on the bench five times so far this season but is yet to make his competitive debut for the club.
An EFL loan move is viewed as the next step in his career progression as he looks to build upon his enormous technical ability and add the toughness that has rarely been required of him in youth-level football.
Gore, 20, is looking to make up for lost time after several injury setbacks last year that stunted his development. The young midfielder joined Port Vale on loan a year ago, but picked up an injury in his first match and never featured for them again. He then suffered a freak shoulder injury during the summer that caused him to miss the start of the current season and another separate injury that saw him sidelined again.
He has played twice for the United first-team since making his debut against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup last season, having also featured in the dying moments of a Premier League win over Aston Villa on Boxing Day in 2023. A handful of other United youngsters could also leave the club this month if appropriate offers arrive for them, though Amass and Gore are likely to be the most high-profile exits and are the two players the club is actively looking to arrange loans for.
