The Story in Brief
Manchester United drew 1-1 with Paris Saint-Germain in a pre-season friendly in Gothenburg, Sweden, on Saturday. Bryan Mbeumo scored the equaliser after Ibrahim Mbaye had put PSG ahead within the first two minutes. United midfielder Mason Mount was substituted after just 20 minutes due to injury, sparking concerns over his fitness. The 27-year-old has missed nearly 400 days through injury since joining from Chelsea in 2023. United had six shots on target to PSG's two, but goalkeeper Matvey Safonov kept the French side level with five saves. United now have two wins and a draw in three pre-season matches.
The Indian Opinion
Pre-season friendlies often invite two extreme reactions: panic over a loss or euphoria over a win. Neither is warranted. United's unbeaten run in three friendlies masks the familiar injury worry, Mason Mount's latest setback. The midfielder has now missed over 400 days since arriving from Chelsea. Manager Michael Carrick will hope the new signings cover the gaps. The real test begins when the Premier League season starts, not in a Swedish summer exhibition.
