Man Utd confirm boost as Mount and Højlund return to training

Manchester United have been boosted by the returns of Rasmus Højlund and Mason Mount to first-team training.

Mount suffered a fresh injury setback during a 2-1 defeat for Erik ten Hag’s side against Brighton at the end of August.

Højlund, meanwhile, is yet to feature for the Red Devils this term after picking up a hamstring problem during pre-season.

But United confirmed that the pair have now rejoined squad training at Carrington following Wednesday’s League Cup rout over Barnsley.

The 20-time English champions return to Premier League action on Saturday when they travel to Crystal Palace.
