Huge boost as £31m United star returns to full training after Mount & Hojlund
Manchester United have received a fresh injury boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon.
The Red Devils have registered back-to-back wins over Southampton and Barnsley after the first international break of the season.
They will be aiming to continue the good form against the Eagles, who did the league double over them during the previous campaign.
Speaking in his pre-match presser, manager Erik ten Hag confirmed that Rasmus Hojlund and Mason Mount are back in first-team training.
The Dutch tactician added that the duo will be assessed before the south London trip to face Palace.
United have now revealed that Victor Lindelof has also made his much-awaited return to training after nursing a toe problem.
The £31 million signing has been absent since the pre-season friendly against Liverpool in August, but he should make his comeback to the squad.
The Red Devils have scored a stunning 10 goals in the last two games in all competitions against Southampton and Barnsley.
However, Palace are bound to present a stiffer challenge, considering the form of Jean-Philippe Mateta and Eberechi Eze in attack.
United have not been tested defensively over the past two games and they will need to be more aware and agile at Selhurst Park.
Manuel Ugarte could be handed his full Premier League debut in midfield alongside Kobbie Mainoo and captain Bruno Fernandes.
Christian Eriksen was superb against the Tykes with two goals and an assist, but his lack of pace could see him benched for the game.
