Big boost for Man Utd with ‘high-class’ £60m star returns to training, available for Ruben Amorim’s first game

Manchester United have received a major injury boost ahead of the imminent arrival of Ruben Amorim.

According to Manchester Evening News, Mason Mount has returned to training but he might not play in the remaining two matches before the upcoming international break.

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.

In his time at the club, he has managed to play 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 seen merely 215 minutes of action on the pitch 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 the England international has yet to demonstrate his talents in the United shirt.

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 head coach 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.
