Ten Hag’s men cap off their preparation with a home game against Lens on 5 August before a clash with Athletic Bilbao in Dublin a day later.
United fans will be desperate for their first look at their only signing of this window so far, having anticipated more arrivals at this stage.
However, the addition of Mount, a major talent stolen from a rival, has fans excited with many wondering how he will be used by last season’s League Cup winners.
After joining the club last week, Mount said: “Leaving the club where you grew up is never easy, but Manchester United will provide an exciting new challenge for the next phase of my career.”
‘Everyone can see that the club has made great strides with Erik ten Hag. Having met with the coach and discussed his plans, I couldn’t be more excited for the upcoming seasons and I’m ready for the hard work to be expected here.”
