Bryan Mbeumo earned Man Utd a 1-1 draw with Paris St-Germain in Gothenburg but Mason Mount’s injury was a cause for concern.
Mount has had an encouraging pre-season after an injury-plagued time at United but was forced off after just 20 minutes in Sweden with an apparent foot problem.
At that point United were trailing to an early goal from Ibrahim Mbaye and had been stretched on several occasions by the European champions, who were missing many of their star names.
But the standout Amad Diallo shifted the momentum. He won the ball back high up the pitch to tee up Mbeumo for a fine finish for United’s equaliser and proved too hot to handle for the PSG defence into the half-time break.
Mbeumo would have added to his tally had PSG’s Matvey Safonov not been in such sharp form, although the goalkeeper left the pitch to jeers after escaping punishment for clattering Joshua Zirkzee way outside of his area.
Youri Tielemans made his first appearance for Man Utd against PSG
At the other end, United goalkeeper Tom Heaton suffered a hamstring issue and had to be replaced.
There were late chances for Tyler Fletcher, Shea Lacey and captain Bruno Fernandes – who linked up excitingly with new signing Youri Tielemans. United weren’t able to find a winner but boss Michael Carrick will be happy with another positive pre-season workout.
The key moments from Gothenberg…
