Manchester United have been handed a crucial injury boost ahead of their highly anticipated clash against Chelsea in the Premier League, MySportDab reports.
After a 3-0 mauling by cross-city rivals Manchester City at Etihad last weekend, the Red Devils return to Premier League action on Sunday against another arch-rivals Chelsea.
Notably, new manager Ruben Amorim’s midfield regulars – Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount – missed the Man City clash due to injuries.
The two players picked up mild injuries in United’s 3-2 win over Burnley before the September international break, leading to their omission from the trip to Etihad.
Now, a new update from United’s squad camp ahead of the Chelsea cracker reveals the duo are fit to return to the lineup on Sunday.
Cunha joined United for £63million from Wolves this summer and has yet to find the net. However, he has been tipped to play a big role in Amorim’s United squad nomenclature.
Mason Mount is also understood to be key in Amorim’s Man United squad plans and his return from the sidelines will be an added boost to the team.
United will be under pressure to get a result against Chelsea after their disappointing performance at Etihad at the weekend.
Close sources reveal pressure has tanked up on manager Amorim to reverse the club’s recent misfortunes after his £200m spend on the summer transfer market.
The Red Devils will face a tough task against the Blues who boast a stronger recent form and will be looking to bounce back on the domestic scene after their Champions League opening defeat to Bayern Munich in midweek.
