WHAT 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.

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING
Mount's latest return from injury has sparked an influx of disparaging comments on social media.
A Chelsea fan on X claimed that Mount was waiting for United's clash with his former club Chelsea to pass before he re-joined training. The account named @CarefreeLewisG wrote: "Ducked Chelsea."
Another Blues supporter Evicks is enjoying the player's misery at Old Trafford as he wrote: "This boy has got more injuries than G/A for Manchester United since signing for them from Chelsea. The things we love to see."
@BradleyCarl256 added: "3 games away from another 4-month injury."
Meanwhile, a Man Utd fan named Sober Mind has even urged United to release Mount. He said: "Mount contract should be terminated."
@DebbyChelsea10 slammed the midfielder as she wrote: "He offers nothing btw."

THE 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.

WHAT 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.
