Fit-again Manchester United player Mason Mount is "ready" to go against Crystal Palace on Tuesday night. Mount, 24, has missed the last five games, in all competitions, due to a muscular injury. He returned to training at Carrington last week and stepped-up his recovery during the build-up to the Carabao Cup tie with Palace - which marks the first part of a doubleheader between the two teams.
Following their midweek game, United and the Eagles will go head-to-head, once again, in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon (3pm). Both matches will take place at Old Trafford.
Without nine players for fitness reasons during the 1-0 win over Burnley on Saturday night, United were handed a double selection boost for their impending tie with Palace when Mount and fellow England regular Harry Maguire returned to training at Carrington in the build-up.

Mount, seemingly, is fit enough to start for United if required on Tuesday night after providing a welcome update on his Instagram account on Monday evening. He uploaded several pictures from training and added a three-word caption on his story with a red devil emoji thrown in for good measure.
His caption read: "Ready for tomorrow." Now he has fully recovered from his injury, Mount will compete for a spot in the United line-up with fellow midfielders Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes, on-loan Sofyan Amrabat and Scott McTominay moving forward.
However, there is also scope for the former Chelsea player to operate on their right-hand flank with Jadon Sancho and Antony unavailable for selection, as things stand. Mount signed for United from Chelsea
