Mason Mount could make his first appearance for Man United TOMORROW
Mason Mount is in line to make his first appearance for Manchester United after completing his £60m move last week.
The 24-year-old has been included in the Red Devils’ traveling party to Norway, where they are due to take on Leeds United in the capital.
As reported on Twitter by Mail Sport's Chris Wheeler, Ten Hag will take a 26-man squad that is made up of some of last season’ first-team regulars and youngsters hoping to break into the team.
Notable absentees include Marcus Rashford, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes and Anthony Martial, while Tom Heaton leads the goalkeeping unit following the departure of David De Gea.
United’s clash with Daniel Farke’s side sets off a pre-season calendar that sees them face Lyon in Scotland next week before a tour of the US, where they will meet Arsenal, Wrexham, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.
Ten Hag’s men finish off their preparations with a home game against Lens on August 5 ahead of a clash with Athletic Bilbao in Dublin a day later.
United fans will be desperate to get their first glimpse of their only signing of this window so far, having anticipated further arrivals at this stage.
Nevertheless, the addition of Mount, a marquee talent poached from a rival, has supporters excited with many pondering how he will be used by last season’s League Cup winners.
After joining the club last week, Mount said: 'It's never easy leaving the club where you grew up, but Manchester United will provide an exciting new challenge for the next phase of my career.
'Everyone can see that the club has made big steps forward under Erik ten Hag. Having met with the manager and discussed his plans, I couldn't be more excited for the seasons ahead, and am ready for the hard work expected here.’
