Rasmus Hojlund has returned to Manchester United training.
According to Sky Sports, Hojlund along with Mason Mount are back amongst the group for training as Erik ten Hag’s side prepare to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday.
The pair missed Tuesday night’s 7-0 win over Barnsley in the Carabao Cup third round, after being ruled with hamstring injuries.
Both players have now stepped up their recovery ahead of a return to action.
Unlike Mount, who started the first two games of the season, Hojlund has yet to play this season after sustaining his injury in a friendly match against Arsenal during the summer.

Ten Hag’s side go into the game against Palace after beating Southampton 3-0 and Barnsley 7-0 in the past week. That’s 10 goals for and 0 against in two matches, an incredible record and one we can hopefully build on.
United are 10th in the Premier League after four games.
Hojlund returning means Ten Hag will have no options in attack and United appear to be creating more chances for the young Dane to feed on.
The lack of service for Hojlund was noticeable last season.
