The 18-year-old full-back has endured a miserable start to life at the Steel City, scoring an own goal on his debut against Bristol City in a 3-0 loss.
But he quickly established himself in Henrik Pedersen’s side as a left-wing defender, able to move forward freely and utilize his excellent technical ability, which has been compared to that of Luke Shaw.
Abmas went on to win back-to-back Player of the Month awards for the Owls — The youngster provided a rare bright light in a dismal game for fans on Wednesday.
United recalled the left-back after his loan deal expired in January, although Stoke City and Watford were optimistic a new deal could be struck at Hillsborough. The club he played for before joining the Red Devils.

However, things took a dramatic turn as Norwich emerged as front-runners for Armas after active talks with United and a deal was quickly struck until the end of the season.
Serious blow
Armas made his debut for the Canaries as a substitute in the Canaries’ 2-1 win over table-toppers Coventry City, impressing in the tense final stages of the game.
But devastating news has now been leaked from Carrow Road, with Norwich boss Philippe Clement revealing Armas suffered a “serious” injury in training The loan player missed today’s loss to Middlesbrough.
“Harry was injured in the last seconds of training. I don’t want to talk too much immediately after training because it hasn’t been assessed yet,” the Belgium coach said.

“But it looks serious and he’s going to be out for a long time. He’s on loan from Manchester United so it’s also important to talk to them before talking to the outside world.”
Further testing is needed to determine the extent of the injury – But Clement is serious in his approach to the situation and has low expectations for the youngster to return any time soon.
