A club statement read: "Manchester United's squad has been boosted by the welcome return of Aaron Wan-Bissaka ahead of Sunday's Emirates FA Cup tie against Liverpool at Old Trafford. The defender was pictured on the training pitches at Carrington on Tuesday morning, along with midfielder Mason Mount, who has also been absent for the Reds of late."

Wan-Bissaka hasn't featured since the 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford in January. Mount, meanwhile, has been out for four months. The 25-year-old has endured a difficult first season at Old Trafford, managing just 12 appearances. On Friday, Erik ten Hag said: "Mason Mount, I think he is in a good spell now and he will return shortly. I think after the international break.”
