Huge boost for Man United as £55m star returns to training ahead of Amorim arrival -Report
Mason Mount’s return to group training after an injury has given Man United a boost ahead of their UEFA Europa League matchup against PAOK on Thursday.
Due to a hamstring injury sustained at the beginning of the season, the midfield player has missed much of the 2024–25 season and has only appeared in one of the Manchester club’s previous eight Premier League games.
Since moving to Old Trafford from Chelsea last summer for £55 million, Mount has had a difficult time finding his footing.
Over the past two seasons, the 25-year-old has made just 25 appearances for United, contributing one goal and one assist. These figures are quite disappointing.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Mount has returned to group training with Man United and his minutes will be managed over the coming games.
The arrival of Ruben Amorim from Sporting CP during the international break offers the former Chelsea star a fresh start and his return could be a big boost if the Portuguese coach can help him rediscover his old self.
Can Mason Mount return to his best under Ruben Amorim?
Mount has proven at Chelsea that he can be one of the best creative talents in the Premier League but it has been years since the midfielder has shown that kind of form.
The 25-year-old struggled during his last year with the Blues and has yet to do anything at Old Trafford. It will be hard for Amorim to help the midfielder rediscover his old self as other players at the Manchester club are also struggling around him.
Fans of the Red Devils will hope the arrival of a new manager motivates Mount and his return to form could be a game-changer for the Manchester club’s attack throughout the second half of the campaign
