Man Utd news: Mason Mount returns before Real Sociedad tie

Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount was involved in the open section of training before Thursday’s Europa League last-16 tie with Real Sociedad at Old Trafford.

The £55m signing from Chelsea has endured a second injury plagued campaign.

He has started just four league games and has not featured since injuring his hamstring against Manchester City on 15 December.

Manuel Ugarte was also involved after missing two games with a ‘knock’.

However, defensive pair Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro were both missing.

Realistically, United need to win the Europa League to qualify for European football next season. They drew the away leg in San Sebastian last week and are likely to play French club Lyon if they get through.
