A calf problem in November has then ruled him out for the middle third of the campaign.

However, the 25-year-old England international will reportedly provide boss Erik ten Hag with a huge boost this weekend.

Mount is set to be included in the squad for FA Cup quarter final clash with Liverpool.

Mount has only managed to make 12 appearances so far for the Red Devils and is yet to score since his arrival.

His last appearance was on November 11 in the 1-0 victory over Liverpool.

But his return coincides with several others as United look to beat their great rivals in what is their only chance of winning silverware this term.

The Red Devils also splashed out £72m for Rasmus Hojlund last summer and the Dane is finally starting to find his feet in front of goal.

Hojlund’s double in his last appearance stretched his scoring run to six consecutive Premier League games.

That broke a Prem record as he became the youngest player ever to achieve such a feat.

But that hot-streak was curtailed when he picked up a knock which ruled him out for three weeks, although he is set to be back for United’s clash with Liverpool as well.

Centre-half Harry Maguire and full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka are also likely to return against their great rivals after their own injuries.

Ten Hag is still without a number of other players for the cup clash.

Defenders Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are all absent as well as injured forward Anthony Martial.

United will have a break after tomorrow’s showdown due to the international break.

They will next be in action away to Brentford in the Premier League on Match 30.

Then they head to Mount’s former club Chelsea on April 4.
