Manchester United received a significant boost as Raphael Varane and Mason Mount returned to training ahead of their upcoming Champions League showdown vs Bayern Munich, reported by GOAL. The duo participated in the squad's final training session at Carrington before their flight to Germany, showcasing their readiness for their match against the Bavarians.

Mason Mount, who joined Manchester United from Chelsea for £60 million ($74 million) during the summer transfer window, had been sidelined with a hamstring injury since August 19, when he last played in a match against Tottenham. On the other hand, Raphael Varane sustained a knock during Manchester United's 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest, causing initial concerns about his recovery timeline. The return of both players is a timely boost for manager Erik ten Hag, who has been dealing with an injury crisis early in the season.
