Carrick being ‘careful’ with Mount as Man Utd draw with PSG
Mason Mount was involved in an injury scare during Manchester United's 1-1 friendly draw with Paris Saint-Germain.
Manchester United manager Michael Carrick expressed caution when discussing Mason Mount's involvement in an injury scare during the club's 1-1 friendly draw with Paris Saint-Germain in Gothenburg, Sweden. Mount, who joined United from Chelsea in 2023, has been dealing with recurring injuries since arriving at Old Trafford. After sustaining a foot injury during the match, the 27-year-old was replaced by Tyler Fletcher.
Carrick stated that they wanted to be careful and look after Mount, as they had been fortunate with injuries thus far. Post-match footage showed Mount walking onto the United bus without any visible knee support or protective boot. United suffered a 1-0 defeat against PSG in the first half, with Ibrahim Mbaye scoring for the hosts in the second minute.
Bryan Mbeumo equalized for United in the 32nd minute, but Matvey Safonov nearly doubled PSG's lead before being substituted due to a foul on Joshua Zirkzee. Fletcher, Shea Lacey, and Bruno Fernandes had late chances to score, with Carrick expressing satisfaction with the team's problem-solving abilities and their preparation for the upcoming season.
United will face Leeds in Dublin on August 12 and AC Milan in Wroclaw on August 25 before starting their Premier League campaign against Hull on August 22.
