The news will feel like the first positive update in a long while for Manchester United fans, who have had to endure a series of disappointing displays and a Carabao Cup loss to fourth tier Grimsby Town already this season.

Speaking to the press ahead of this weekend's game against Chelsea, Amorim revealed the latest news on his squad's fitness concerns.

The good news is that both of Mason Mount and Matheus Cunha will both be part of the squad.

The 40-year-old Portuguese manager said: "Dalot is out, Mase [Mount] and Cunha are in the squad.”

Amorim then added: “Licha [Martinez] is still out, that is it.”

New signing Cunha is yet to score for Man United since joining from Wolves in the summer, and had been reportedly working with a private trainer in order to get fit in time for Saturday's match.

The return of Mason Mount is another huge boost for the Red Devils.

The England international is likely to be highly motivated to compete against Chelsea.

Mount spent close to 20 years with Chelsea before joining United.
