Mason Mount was shown working out with the squad at Carrington on Wednesday as they made last preparations for the Emirates FA Cup final at Wembley on Saturday.
Since our early-month defeat at Crystal Palace, when he made his first start for the Reds since early October, the 25-year-old has not played.
Due to what Erik ten Hag called a “minor issue,” Mount, who has played 19 times in his United debut year and scored one goal, missed games against Arsenal, Newcastle United, and Brighton & Hove Albion.
As our injury problems start to improve—Raphael Varane has joined Bruno Fernandes, Lisandro Martinez, and Marcus Rashford in making comebacks this month—his possible return to action might provide us a much-needed boost.
Our pictures also feature Victor Lindelof and Anthony Martial, and when Ten Hag holds his last press conference of the season on Thursday afternoon, he might give an update on all three Reds.
The boss will be appearing before the media at 16:30 BST. You can follow all the action on ManUtd.com and our app.
The United defenders are in a battle against time to be fit for the final, although Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw were included in England’s provisional squad for the Euros on Tuesday.
With Maguire missing our last four league games, the manager said last week that he had a “fair chance” of being ready to play against Pep Guardiola’s team.
Shaw, meanwhile, is seen to have far narrower prospects after suffering a setback in his attempt to recuperate from the muscle injury that halted his top-flight campaign in February.
In the absence of the Netherlands international and Shaw, Diogo Dalot and Aaron Wan-Bissaka have been splitting left-back duties this season. Tyrell Malacia has not played.
MANCHESTER CITY TEAM NEWS
After winning the FA Cup 2-1 over United the previous season, City will soon focus on attempting to win the competition again, even though they have been enjoying their fourth straight Premier League triumph.
Following his eye socket fracture at Tottenham last week, goalkeeper Ederson will miss both this final and the next Copa America competition in the United States.
With experienced keeper Scott Carson set to be on the bench, Stefan Ortega makes a capable backup who was a constant during this season’s cup run.
The only question for Guardiola is whether he remains with Jeremy Doku, who took Mateo Kovacic’s position in the starting lineup for the title-winning win over West Ham United. Otherwise, his team is in good health.
