Manchester United 'agree deal to sign highly-rated Watford defender Harry Amass'... with the Red Devils 'set to pay compensation' to bring the England U16 international to Old Trafford

Manchester United are reportedly set to complete the signing of Watford's highly-rated defender Harry Amass later this week.

Amass is seen as one the best young talents in the game, and a deal has been agreed for the 16-year-old, who made the club's first-team squad last season.

It's a blow for Watford, as Amass will be the second young prospect to leave Watford this window, after Adrian Blake rejected a professional contract with the club and joined FC Utrecht in Holland.

Under his current early scholarship deal with Watford, United will have to pay compensation to bring the talented teen to the club.
