Amos made his first start of the 2011–12 season in a third round League Cup tie at Elland Road against Leeds United.
He kept a clean sheet as United cruised through to the next round winning 3–0.
He played again in the following round away at Aldershot Town, a game which United also won 3–0 and advanced to the quarter finals.
He was in goal again for United's League Cup game in a defeat against Championship club Crystal Palace on 30 November.
It also seemed that he had moved above last season's second choice Tomasz Kuszczak in the pecking order, but was now third choice behind Anders Lindegaard and David de Gea.
He made his first Premier League start in a 2–0 home win against Stoke City on 31 January 2012, keeping a clean sheet on his debut.

On 30 May 2012, Amos signed a three-year contract extension with Manchester United, which will keep him at the club until at least 2015.
