The midfielder has had an unfortunate 2026 so far, following a promising first half of the season.
After featuring from the bench – and having a late goal ruled out – during Carrick’s first game, against Manchester City, Mount was sidelined for two months with injury.
He returned in the closing stages of our most recent encounter, at Bournemouth, and has now benefited from working at Carrington and in the Republic of Ireland, during the long break.
“It’s great to have Mason back, to miss him so quickly after we came in and came together,” Carrick said.
“So, he’s obviously had what, nearly two, three weeks of building up and finding his rhythm, finding his sharpness. So yeah, it’s great to have him back.”
