Manchester United's Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount have both returned to first-team training following their respective injuries, sparking optimism within the squad. Hojlund, who sustained a hamstring injury during a pre-season match, has yet to play this season, while Mount has been sidelined since early September after injuring himself against Brighton. Both players are expected to be considered for selection in the upcoming match against Crystal Palace, although the club is cautious about rushing their return. This recovery is particularly crucial for manager Erik ten Hag, who has been dealing with several injury absences among key players. The return of Mount, who joined the club for £55 million from Chelsea, is seen as significant after a challenging first season marred by injuries. United aims to maintain squad depth and avoid further injury setbacks as they progress through the season.
