Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has given a positive update on midfielder Mason Mount's injury, saying he is back training after being sidelined for almost a month. The team news for the match against Everton lists Youri Tielemans as potentially dropping to the bench in favor of Mount and summer signing Andrey Santos forming a partnership. Matheus Cunha leads the line again, with Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford starting behind him. Benjamin Sesko, who returned from a shin injury last season, is listed on the substitutes' bench for Manchester United.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
