Manchester United has provided a new update on Mason Mount following his head injury.

Mason Mount had to exit the field during Manchester United’s loss to Tottenham due to a head injury and has not played since that September match. However, the club shared encouraging news on Monday evening, revealing that Mount has returned to training five weeks after the injury.

Since his transfer from Chelsea in 2023, Mount has encountered multiple fitness issues. He missed the beginning of the season due to a hamstring injury but returned as a substitute. Unfortunately, he sustained a head injury from an aerial challenge with Spurs defender Radu Dragusin shortly after replacing Kobbie Mainoo, resulting in a significant cut.

As a result of this injury, Mount has been sidelined for the last seven games, leaving United with a depleted midfield, particularly with Mainoo also suffering an injury against Aston Villa soon after.

The club emphasized that Mount “will not be rushed back” into play, but his return to full training with the team represents a key advancement in his recovery. There is no clear timeline for when the 25-year-old will return to action, but Manchester United has matches against PAOK and Leicester City coming up before the November international break.

Mount’s return could align with Ruben Amorim’s start as the club’s new head coach. The Portuguese manager has been appointed to succeed Erik ten Hag but is currently completing his obligations with Sporting CP and will officially begin in Manchester next Monday. His first match in charge is scheduled for November 24, after the international break.

In the meantime, Ruud van Nistelrooy will continue as interim manager. The Dutchman has already led the team to a convincing victory over Leicester in the Carabao Cup and a Premier League draw with Chelsea, where a second-half equalizer denied Manchester United a win.
