Manchester United confirm 26-man squad for pre-season friendly vs Leeds

Manchester United have confirmed that new signing Mason Mount has been included in the 26-man squad that travels to Oslo for tomorrow's pre-season friendly against Leeds United.

Mount, 24, joined United from Chelsea last Wednesday on an initial five-year deal and he could make his debut against Leeds at the Ullevaal Stadion. The England international trained with his new teammates for the first time last Thursday and will now be looking to make his first appearance in United colours.

Mount has been joined in the squad by the likes of Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Jadon Sancho and Fred. United are currently thin on the ground in terms of senior stars after 15 players were granted extended summer breaks after appearing on international duty last month.
