Big boost for Man Utd as 'high-class' £60m star returns to training, available for Ruben Amorim's first game
Manchester United have received a major injury boost before Ruben Amorim arrives at the club.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Mason Mount has returned to training.
Mount’s last appearance came during the disappointing 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in September.
The 25-year-old has endured an injury-ravaged spell at United after joining them in a deal worth £60 million in 2023.
He has played just 25 games, contributing only one goal and one assist to the team.
After a positive pre-season, many fans expected him to be available and fit for his second term at United.
However, he has featured for just 215 minutes across five games this season.
This limited playing time has left supporters wanting more as they await the return of a player they believe can make a significant impact.
Erik ten Hag has described Mount as a ‘high-class player‘, but he has yet to demonstrate his talents for United.
As Amorim gears up to take the reins, the potential return of Mount could offer a vital boost to the squad in their quest to turn their fortunes around.
The Portuguese manager is known for favouring technical players who not only excel with the ball at their feet but also put in relentless work off it.
Mount embodies the tenacity and creativity that could make him a key asset in Amorim’s system.
However, his primary focus must be on maintaining his fitness over an extended period.
