Ruben Amorim said it would be “perfect” if Mason Mount could make a five-minute comeback at Leicester on Sunday. The midfielder has missed Manchester United ’s last 20 games with a hamstring injury and was named by co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe as one of the club’s biggest earners who was unavailable to the Amorim.

Mount is not expected to face Real Sociedad on Thursday but is nearing a return to action after a three-month absence.
