When will Mason Mount make his debut?
Mason Mount could make his United debut as early as next week. The 24-year-old has not played since April after suffering a pelvic injury towards the back end of the season.
However, the Englishman has had time to recover and could be a part of the United team that face Leeds on Wednesday, July 12 in Oslo. The game between the two sides will take place at the Ullevaal Stadium, with kick-off at 4pm BST.
The two teams last met in February, with the Red Devils securing a 2-0 win thanks to goals from Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho.
If the midfielder doesn’t make his debut next Wednesday, Mount could make his debut a week later against Lyon. Both sides will face each other at BT Murrayfield in Edinburgh at 2pm. Shortly after the game, the Red Devils will then jet out to America for their US tour.
The Red Devils face fellow Premier League side Arsenal before facing Wrexham, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.
Their pre-season will end on Sunday, August 6, with a game against Athletic Bilbao in Dublin.
