Amos, now 33, joined United’s academy in 2001 and became a regular starter for the club’s Under-13’s in his first season.

He progressed up through the age groups before making his competitive first team debut in September 2008.
His first appearance for the Red Devils came in a League Cup clash with Middlesbrough.
Amos played the full 90 minutes as Man Utd cruised to a 3-1 win.
However, he had to wait until the 2011-12 season to make his Premier League debut.
The goalkeeper’s first, and ONLY, top tier appearance came in a 2-0 win over Stoke at Old Trafford.
But he struggled to cement his place in Sir Alex Ferguson‘s starting line-up.
David De Gea was then introduced to the team, meaning Amos fell further down the pecking order.
The goalkeeper was sent out on loan six times during his seven-year spell at Old Trafford – to Peterborough, Molde, Oldham, Hull City, Carlisle and Bolton respectively.

He then secured a permanent move to Bolton, but was limited to just 53 appearances across all competitions after being loaned out a further three times to Cardiff, Charlton and Millwall.
Amos spent two years at Charlton after completing a permanent transfer in 2019 and now plays for Wigan, where he became a first team regular.
He made 48 appearances and kept 17 clean sheets during his first campaign.
And last season he was involved in a further 31 first team outings.
