Man Utd manager provides return date for Mason Mount

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has provided a possible return date for midfielder Mason Mount.

The England international joined the Red Devils from Chelsea last summer and he was handed the iconic number seven jersey.

Mount was anticipated to play a big part for the club, but he has yet to make an impact, having been sidelined with several injuries.

The midfielder has been out of action since November with a calf problem but Ten Hag has revealed that he is not far off from a comeback.

Speaking in today's presser, Ten Hag highlighted that Mount is making good progress and could be involved after the international break.

United have been hampered by numerous injuries this term and they are currently 11 points behind the automatic Champions League places.

It looks likely that they won't qualify for the Champions League with a top-four finish. It would be a surprise if the club manage to do so.

United are currently on a two-match losing league streak, but should be favourites to beat a goal-shy Everton side at Old Trafford.
