However, Mount has returned to United training and while he missed Thursday’s win over Real Sociedad that sealed progress into the Europa League quarter-finals, Amorim has confirmed the 26-year-old will likely be in the squad for the clash at the King Power Stadium. "I think he is going to [be on] the bench," said the United boss.

Manchester United return to Europa League action tonight with their last-16 second-leg showdown against Real Sociedad at Old Trafford. With the tie delicately balanced after a 1-1 draw in Spain last week, Ruben Amorim faces key selection decisions as he seeks to guide his side into the quarter-finals.

Manchester United are looking to maintain their improved run of form when they take on Leicester City at the King Power Stadium this weekend. Ruben Amorim’s side held Arsenal to a 1-1 draw last weekend in a game they will feel they should have won before turning in another much-improved display against Real Sociedad in the Europa League on Thursday.
