‘Very good news’ – Ten Hag offers key injury update ahead of Crystal Palace clash

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has offered his thought on the return of two key Red Devils who have been sidelined in recent weeks. 

It was confirmed earlier this week that Manchester United stars Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund had returned to first-team training ahead of Saturday’s trip to Crystal Palace.

The former Ajax coach will be pleased that he has more options to choose from as he looks to continue the momentum from the 3-0 win at Southampton and the midweek 7-0 victory against Barnsley in the Carabao Cup.
