Timely boost for Man Utd! Mason Mount finally returns to training after four months out injured - with England midfielder in line to appear in FA Cup showdown against Liverpool

The England international has not featured in a match for United since a substitute appearance against Luton Town in the Premier League on November 11, having been laid low with a muscle injury. In December he returned to the training pitch briefly but was far from attaining full fitness.

On Tuesday, the club officially confirmed that Mount has rejoined training after diligently working with medical staff for the past few months. The midfielder's return comes as a huge boost for Erik ten Hag's side, who are now preparing to take on in-form Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The 25-year-old has failed to make an impact after joining the Red Devils from Chelsea last summer. Before getting injured, he featured in 12 matches across all competitions, where he clocked 626 minutes on the pitch and contributed with a single assist.

It remains to be seen if Mount will be included in Ten Hag's matchday squad for the upcoming FA Cup clash on Sunday. The manager will take the final call after thoroughly examining his condition.
