After an injury break, Mason Mount can return to the MU main team in a completely new role – right-wing.
The English star has not appeared for the Red Devils since being injured in the 2-0 loss at Tottenham on August 19.
However, Mason Mount returned to practice with his teammates last week and his physical condition is improving.
The foggy media confirmed that this 24-year-old player will reappear when MU faces Crystal Palace in the English League Cup on September 27
On the Carrington training ground, Mason Mount smiled excitedly with his teammates. He aspires to return to help MU overcome difficult times.
In the absence of Antony and Jadon Sancho for different reasons, coach Ten Hag plans to test Mason Mount in the right striker position.
Previously, he used to operate on the right wing and played with high efficiency. Therefore, the Dutch teacher hopes that his student will solve MU’s existing problems.
In addition to Mason Mount, midfielder Harry Maguire also tried his best to practice after injury, causing him to miss two trips to visit Bayern Munich and Burnley.
The injury list of the Manchester team still has a few names in defense such as Luke Shaw, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Tyrell Malacia.
Sergio Reguilon had a small problem at the end of the match against Burnley. Therefore, the Spanish full-back will likely be able to rest.
Coach Ten Hag’s team hopes to deliver a more improved performance when facing Palace, starting the campaign to defend the English League Cup title.
