Mason Mount, who resumed training on the grass at Carrington on Wednesday, has given Manchester United yet more boost.

After sustaining a calf injury five weeks ago, Mount has missed the last nine games. However, if he adheres to an individualised training regimen, it is anticipated that the England international will be able to play early in the New Year.

Mason Mount is seen for the first time since November returning to Manchester United’s training.

 

 

The England international worked out on his own as his teammates healed.

After spending £60 million to join United from Chelsea in the summer, the 24-year-old has had a difficult time playing for his new team, recording only one assist and zero goals in 12 games.

This season, Mount’s problems have been a symbol of United’s offensive problems. However, Erik ten Hag’s team found their rhythm in the second half of the team’s Boxing Day victory over Aston Villa, as Alejandro Garnacho doubled his team’s goal total, Marcus Rashford found his scoring touch, and Rasmus Hojlund scored his first Premier League goal.

On Wednesday morning, Mount worked out alone in the rain while the rest of his teammates finished recovering after their thrilling victory over Aston Villa.

After a dull beginning to his time in red, he will be looking to really launch his career at Old Trafford.
