Rasmus Hojlund returns! Man Utd handed huge fitness boost as striker makes training comeback - and Mason Mount is back too

Premier League

Ipswich

Striker Hojlund picked up a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rasmus-hojlund-lenny-yoro-injury-gabriel-jesus-winners-and-losers-manchester-united-arsenal/blt1b4eafed6c494ca5" target="_blank">hamstring injury in pre-season</a> and is yet to play in 2024-25, while midfielder Mount came off at half-time in United's defeat to Brighton last month <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-mason-mount-update-hamstring-injury/bltafc64ca66b4dd4e9#cs203be4b4647e5ad2" target="_blank">with a "minor injury"</a>. However, the Red Devils have confirmed the pair are back in training and are closing in on a first-team return.

WHAT HAPPENED?

A statement on <a href="https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/double-training-boost-as-mason-mount-and-rasmus-hojlund-feature-18-sep" target="_blank">United's website reads</a>: "Manchester United have received a double fitness boost during Wednesday's training session. Both Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund trained with the group at Carrington, with our photographers capturing the pair working hard to prove they are ready to return to action."

WHAT MANCHESTER UNITED SAID

Erik ten Hag's team had a mountain of injuries to contend with last season, including the absences of Hojlund and Mount for periods. But having them back fit gives United more strength in depth, with both having a shot at being regular starters.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

United, who sit 10th in the Premier League after two wins and two defeats this season, travel to winless Crystal Palace on Saturday evening, before beginning their Europa League campaign next Wednesday against FC Twente. It remains to be seen exactly when Mount and Hojlund will be back in contention to play.
