Manchester United welcomes back first-team player after four months
With ten games to the end of the 2023/24 Premier League season, Manchester United have received a huge boost in their quest to finish in the top four as they look to play in the UEFA Champions League next season.
The Red Devils confirmed that Mason Mount has returned from injury which ruled him out for four months. The club made the official announcement on its website on Tuesday, March 12, 2024, according to the reports, Mount maintained his positivity during his rehabilitation programme.
“Mount has worked closely with the club’s medical staff and displayed a work ethic that helped him to become one of the most decorated young players in the game. The England international’s return to fitness will bring great energy to the squad and the former Champions League winner cannot wait to get started again.”
The manager of the Red Devils, Erik Ten Hag had initially hinted about Mount’s fitness before Saturday’s win over Everton.
He said,
‘Mason Mount I think he is in a good spell now and he will return shortly, I think after the international break.”
However, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Anthony Martial and Tyrell Malacia remain unavailable to Ten Hag as the United manager goes into the FA cup game against Liverpool and the final 10 games of the Premier League.
Manchester United get double team news boost ahead of Liverpool FA Cup tie
Man United could welcome back up to four players from injury against Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals this weekend.
Manchester United full back Aaron Wan-Bissaka has returned to training after two months out.
United manager Erik ten Hag last week indicated the right back would be available to face Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-final at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The probable availability of two recognisable full backs could lead to the end of Victor Lindelof’s stint at left back. The centre back returned to the team at full back after Luke Shaw sustained a muscular injury last month.
Diogo Dalot, United’s only available full back of late, has avoided injury all season and started in the past 13 matches. The last time Dalot and Wan-Bissaka lined up in the same side against Spurs Wan-Bissaka was selected at left back.
Ten Hag admitted last week the absence of a specialist left back was an issue. “We talk about one of my biggest frustrations, there.
“You can accept in a position that a player is not available but when two players are not available over the course of the season, that is very frustrating.
“Because that is also very difficult to catch up as a team but we dealt with it in the best way, but of course it is a disadvantage.”
Mason Mount has also resumed training after a four-month absence. Ten Hag suggested Mount would return in the Premier League fixture away to Brentford after the spring internationals on March 30.
Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Anthony Martial are all definitely out of United’s weekend cup tie. Ten Hag said Harry Maguire and Rasmus Hojlund, present in the directors’ box for the 2-0 win against Everton on Saturday, should also recover to be available against Liverpool.
