Manchester United have received encouraging news regarding Mason Mount’s hamstring injury, with the midfielder set to make his return to action sooner than originally anticipated. Mount has been sidelined since suffering the injury during United’s Premier League loss to Brighton in August. The injury was described as a “minor setback,” but it was initially expected to keep him out for several games.
However, new reports from the Manchester Evening News suggest that Mount has made faster-than-expected progress in his recovery and has already returned to full training.
This raises the possibility of him being available for selection by the end of the month, significantly ahead of the initial timeline.
The news comes as a boost for manager Erik Ten Hag, who had earmarked Mount for a pivotal role in United’s restructured pressing system this season. Mount’s versatility and energy are considered crucial components in implementing Ten Hag’s tactical vision, particularly in midfield transitions and high pressing.
His premature absence has left a noticeable gap in United’s setup, with the team struggling to consistently maintain the intensity and cohesion Ten Hag demands.
Mount’s anticipated return will provide United with much-needed depth in the midfield, particularly as the team navigates a busy schedule with both domestic and European commitments. The early return of the former Chelsea star is expected to bolster United’s squad and potentially help improve their recent performances on the pitch.
