Manchester United: Mason Mount returns to full training ahead of Liverpool FA Cup clash

Mason Mount has returned to full training with Manchester United ahead of the weekend visit of Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The £65million summer signing has been sidelined since November with a calf injury, severely hampering his first season at Old Trafford.

But, speaking to reporters on Friday, Erik ten Hag confirmed Mount is finally closing in on a return and could be in contention for the huge Old Trafford clash on Sunday.

"We had a good week,” Erik ten Hag said on Friday. “[Hojlund, Maguire and Wan-Bissaka] returned on the pitch, partly at the start of the week and today they had a session and are all training. I think [they will be fit to play].

“Tomorrow we have one session. We have to see how they recover from this but it looks good."

He added: "Tom Heaton is back as well, also very good. Mason Mount trained all week with us, he had some full sessions with us, so it's looking good."
