    Manchester United would be prepared to let Harry Amass and Toby Collyer join Sheffield Wednesday on loan despite the Championship club's much-publicised off-field problems.

    Both youngsters are set for spells away from Old Trafford this season despite breaking into the United first-team last term.

    Interest in the pair is high and no decision has been made yet around either player.

    However, eyebrows were raised when it was confirmed Wednesday were interested in signing Amass, while it has also been established the South Yorkshire outfit are one of the options Collyer is assessing.

    Earlier this month, the Football League said it was speaking to Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri about potentially selling the club following a succession of late wage payments.

    There was uncertainty over the club's ability to fulfil their opening league game of the season at Leicester, although that did eventually go ahead, with Wednesday supporters refusing to enter the stadium until five minutes into the 2-1 defeat in protest at Chansiri's running of the club.

    However, there are concerns over the depth of the first-team squad and while Premier League solidarity payments have finally allowed wages to be paid, there is no guarantee of any external funding that would ensure future salaries are not missed.

    It would be against that backdrop United would release Amass and Collyer if that was the choice of the players.

    Their rationale for that is that the key point for both players this season is to further their careers by building on their United appearances and being exposed to regular first-team football, which there is more chance of at Wednesday due to the lack of depth in their squad.

    The wage issues are not felt to be a specific concern as United could carry on paying the players, with Wednesday fulfilling any agreement reached at a point when either Chansiri's financial commitments change or new owners come in with access to greater funding. As a development loan, there would be no fee involved either.

    It is also felt the general situation at Wednesday could have an additional positive element in terms of exposing Amass and Collyer to experiences that do not exist at United, taking them out of what is accepted to be a 'first-class bubble' at one of England's richest clubs.

    It is being stressed both players have a number of options. Although there has been mentions of PSV Eindhoven, it is felt Amass' loan will be a domestic one.

    Neither player was involved in the National League Cup opener at Tamworth on Wednesday, which was abandoned due to lack of ambulance cover after United midfielder Sekou Kone had to be taken to hospital after taking a hefty blow to the head that required lengthy on-field treatment.

    As the game was a competitive fixture, it would have prevented either Amass or Collyer going out on loan and then being recalled in January and sent elsewhere as no player is allowed to play competitive matches for more than two clubs in a single season.

    Manchester United Under-21s midfielder Sekou Kone is conscious and stable in hospital after sustaining a head injury in his side's National League Cup tie at Tamworth.

    The match was abandoned at 0-0 in the first half after Kone clashed heads as he headed the ball out of the penalty area from a corner.

    The 19-year-old Mali youth international initially got up but United medical staff quickly told him to go back down as they assessed him.

    Referee Ross Martin blew for half-time while Kone was still being treated on the pitch before he was carried off on a stretcher.

    In a statement, United said: "Sekou Kone is conscious, stable and communicating with United's medical team. He has been taken to hospital as a precaution for further checks."

    A statement on Tamworth's X account said: "We wish Sekou Kone a speedy recovery."
