Huge Boost: Mason Mount and Matheus Cunha Could Be Fit for Man City and Chelsea Clashes
Manchester United may welcome back both attacking stars as Ruben Amorim faces a season-defining run of fixtures.
Manchester United have been handed a potential double boost ahead of their crunch fixtures against Manchester City and Chelsea, with reports suggesting that both Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount could return in time.
Cunha limped off during United’s dramatic 3–2 victory over Burnley, sparking fears of a serious hamstring issue. However, optimism is growing inside the camp after the Brazilian posted an update from the gym, training on an exercise bike and captioning it “The time is flying”. Sources close to the club believe he may recover in time for the Manchester derby on September 14.
Mount was also withdrawn at half-time against Burnley, with fans fearing the worst. While his setback appeared less severe, manager Ruben Amorim has remained cautious, insisting that medical assessments will determine his availability. For now, his involvement remains uncertain, but there is hope he could feature at some stage in this critical run of matches.
The potential return of both players would be a massive lift for Amorim, who is under pressure following an inconsistent start to the campaign. Facing back-to-back tests against City and Chelsea, the United boss will be desperate to have his full attacking arsenal available.
If fit, Cunha’s direct running and creativity could give United much-needed spark up front, while Mount’s energy and pressing could be invaluable in midfield.
For United, whose season has been blighted by injuries, the possibility of welcoming both stars back at once could not have come at a better time.
