Tielemans cameo against PSG hints at Man Utd future
Manchester United's £35m signing Youri Tielemans makes an impressive debut in the 1-1 friendly draw against Paris St-Germain in Gothenburg.
The debut of Youri Tielemans for Manchester United against Paris St-Germain in Gothenburg has sparked interest in the club's future. During the 1-1 draw, Tielemans made several impressive passes alongside Bruno Fernandes, which drew positive reactions from senior United figures. Despite the limited time Tielemans spent on the field, his contributions were recognized as he helped ease pressure on Mason Mount, who was substituted after 20 minutes due to injury.
United's director of football, Jason Wilcox, praised Tielemans for bringing composure, creativity, and leadership to the squad. Manager Michael Carrick confirmed that Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo, and Lisandro Martinez will return to the club for their pre-season tour in the Republic of Ireland, with Rashford set to rejoin after his loan at Barcelona.
The team will play Leeds United in a friendly on August 12 and face AC Milan in Wroclaw on August 15, with Rashford potentially making his first United appearance since December 2024.
