GettyWHAT HAPPENED?
Mount's journey with United has been nothing short of a nightmare. Since joining the club from Chelsea, he has been plagued with multiple injuries and missed most of last season. In the 2024-25 campaign, the midfielder has been sidelined with a head injury since appearing for the Red Devils in their 3-0 loss to Tottenham in the Premier League in September. However, on Monday, United released a statement to confirm that the England international has finally returned to training.
GettyTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Along with Mount, Tyrell Malacia has also returned to the training pitch. Malacia has not played for United since the 2022-23 season, having spent more than a year on the sidelines after undergoing knee surgery in the summer of 2023.
Getty ImagesWHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER UNITED?
Ruud van Nistelrooy will be present on the touchline in his penultimate game as interim coach of United on Thursday night as they take on PAOK in a Europa League clash. It is unlikely that Mount will be involved as United have confirmed he will "not be rushed back" into action.
