Manchester United fans have been left furious after hearing Erik ten Hag's reported plan for a potential Luke Shaw alternative.

Shaw returned to United to complete pre-season training after Euro 2024 ended, but suffered an injury that will see him return after the upcoming international break this month.

In the absence of the England star and fellow left-back Tyrell Malacia, Ten Hag has fielded Diogo Dalot at left-back, with new signing Noussair Mazraoui playing on the opposite flank.

Toby Collyer, meanwhile, played at left-back during the 7-0 Carabao Cup win over Barnsley, while 17-year-old Harry Amass - who impressed during pre-season but is yet to make his competitive debut for United - is another option.

According to The Athletic, however, Amass will continue to play for the youth teams rather than earn a promotion to the first team at this stage.

It is said that the defender is seen as 'not yet ready for the physicality of first-team football', with the 'huge' step-up to Premier League football a key reason behind why coaches do not want to put him into the side just yet.

But despite that, some United fans, who want to see Amass get a promotion like Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho in recent seasons, say that they are not happy with his treatment.

One fan asked: "We have no proper left-back and Amass is one, why is he being treated so badly?"

A second said: "The Amass position is nuts given the number of times we had youth players on the bench last year."

A third added: "Amass should at least be given minutes. Even 20 minutes per game would help him slowly adapt."

A fourth exclaimed: "Why is Amass staying with the youth teams if they thought he was worthy of chances last year? Left-back is the one critical area we are struggling as Dalot has been so poor all year defensively."

United face an away trip to Porto in the Europa League on Thursday evening, before travelling to the Midlands to take on Aston Villa on Sunday.
