Mason Mount makes timely return to Man United training ahead of Ruben Amorim’s arrival | OneFootball

Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount has returned to training at Carrington ahead of Ruben Amorim’s official arrival at the club.

Amorim, whose appointment was confirmed on Friday as a replacement for the sacked Erik ten Hag, is set to officially take over at United on November 11.

The Portuguese tactician’s first match as United head coach will be on November 24, when the Red Devils travel to Portman Road to take on Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich Town.

According to The Manchester Evening News, Amorim is set to be boosted by the return of Mount, who last lined up for the club in the 3-0 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur in September.

“Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount has returned to training and is making progress in his return from injury.”

“The Manchester Evening News can now reveal Mount is back in training, which represents the next step in his recovery.”

It’s unclear whether or not Mount will be able to play before the upcoming November international break. United have two matches until then, against PAOK in the Europa League and Leicester City in the Premier League.

Steven Railston explains that Mount will not be rushed back into the action, with United keen not to aggravate the injury.

Since his £55million move from Chelsea in 2023, Mount has been unable to nail down a consistent run of games due to injuries.

The 25-year-old has made a total of 25 appearances for United since signing last summer. He has featured on only five occasions so far this term.

Mount will undoubtedly be eager to prove his fitness and impress Amorim in order to stake a claim in his plans.

Meanwhile, United return to action on Thursday for the meeting with PAOK. Kick-off is at 21:00 BST.
