Mason Mount has been pictured in Manchester United training after four months out of action with a calf injury.
United's £60m signing from Chelsea has struggled to get his career going at Old Trafford since joining the club last summer.
The England international made the last of his 12 appearances for the club against Luton back in November, before he was injured in training.
Mount had been expected to be back by now only to face setbacks in his recovery to fitness.
But he now appears to be closing in on a return and seemed in jovial spirits as he trained alongside his team-mates on the pitch at Carrington on Tuesday.
He was spotted with a beaming smile on his face as he walked out alongside Diogo Dalot and Antony.
Other pictures showed him running alongside his team-mates and also getting involved in some on-ball work, suggesting he could be closing in on a return to action for the Red Devils.
United confirmed the news on the club’s official website saying that Mount has worked hard to regain fitness and ‘remained upbeat and positive throughout his rehabilitation’.
Asked about Mount’s fitness before Saturday’s win over Everton, manager Erik ten Hag said: ‘Mason Mount I think he is in a good spell now and he will return shortly, I think after the international break.’
Ten Hag's comments suggest that he will miss Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final tie with Liverpool, but could be in contention to play on March 30 away at Brentford.
It has been a frustrating season for the 25-year-old who was United’s first signing of last summer’s transfer window before the club brought in Andre Onana and Rasmus Hojlund.
The England international has made just seven starts and five appearances off the bench.
United’s injury list is showing signs of clearing again after Ten Hag said that he expects Hojlund, Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka to be back for Sunday’s FA Cup quarter-final against Liverpool at Old Trafford.
However, Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Anthony Martial and Tyrell Malacia remain unavailable to Ten Hag as the United manager goes into the cup game and final 10 Premier League fixtures of a season blighted by injury.

That's the exact reason why we are talking about Rashford, cos he isn't consistency. Can't he maintain the form last season. If you want to be a world class player you have to perform well all seasons. Not one season on and the next off.
The team was better last season, this season their are more mid players in the squad, dalot, mctominay and a few others all mid… they putting pressure on rashford, I want him to leave bcz united is trash and so are the fans

u sure he love United? he'd love to stay had Chelsea offered same salary. just hope he stay fit and contribute toward qualify for CL.
they did offered the same salary united offered him an he still turn them down. do your own research and you will see. and again no player will move to a new team at the age of 24 with the intention of just going to ruin his career, no that's impossible. the guy loves Ronaldo His I ldol is Ronaldo. am not saying because he loves Ronaldo means he loves united. the guy belongs to a United family his father is a United fan and Mount has been to old Trafford as kid number of times to watch man united with his father whiles he plays in the Chelsea academy. he watched Ronaldo when Ronaldo was playing for united. this should tell you that this guy was playing for Chelsea physically but emotionally he loves united that is why he didn't think about it when the opportunity came. I still very optimistic that mason mount is part of the future and he Will be very important to the team some days. don't forget Bruno don't have a backup and Mount will not be a bad option as a substitute for Bruno. Erickson and casemiro will go. so prepare you going to have kobbie, mount and Bruno very soon.

Mount or no mount, United remains the same after all he is not coming with a mountain to protect united. If the mountain can not go to mohamed, then mohamed goes to the mountain.

If all the injuries players will all return no team can beat Manutd in the Premier League.
