Following his four-month absence from action due to a calf ιnjury, Mason Mount was spotted in Manchester United’s training.
Since joining United last summer, the £60 million acquisition from Chelsea has had difficulty getting his career off to a start at Old Trafford.
The England international played his final game for the team in November, against Luton, prior to suffering an ιnjury during practice.
By now, Mount was supposed to be back, but he has encountered obstacles getting back to full condition.
However, he now seems to be getting closer to making a comeback, and on Tuesday, he appeared upbeat as he practiced on the Carrington field with his teammates.
He was seen walking out with Diogo Dalot and Antony, a bright smile on his face.
Other photos of him included him running with teammates and participating in some on-ball activities, indicating that he might be getting close to playing again for the Red Devils.
On the team’s official website, United confirmed the news, noting that Mount has “remained upbeat and positive throughout his rehabilitation” and has put in a lot of effort to regain his fitness.
Before Saturday’s victory over Everton, manager Erik ten Hag responded to a question regarding Mason Mount’s fitness. I believe he is currently enjoying himself and that he will make a quick comeback, probably following the international break.
According to Ten Hag’s remarks, he won’t play in Sunday’s FA Cup quarterfinal against Liverpool, but he might be able to play away at Brentford on March 30.
The 25-year-old, who was United’s initial acquisition of the summer transfer window before the team added Andre Onana and Rasmus Hojlund, has had a difficult season.
There have only been seven starts and five substitute appearances for the England international.
Ten Hag stated that he anticipates Hojlund, Harry Maguire, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka to return for Sunday’s FA Cup quarterfinal at Old Trafford against Liverpool, and as a result, United’s ιnjury list is beginning to clear once more.
Ten Hag is still without Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Anthony Martial, and Tyrell Malacia, though, as the United manager heads into the cup match and the last ten Premier League games of an ιnjury-plagued season.
