Michael Carrick expressed concern over Mason Mount's well-being after the England midfielder suffered an injury scare during Manchester United's 1-1 friendly draw with Paris Saint-Germain in Gothenburg, Sweden. Mount, who joined United from Chelsea in 2023, lasted less than 20 minutes after starting the match. The 27-year-old appeared to sustain a foot injury and was replaced by Tyler Fletcher.
United manager Carrick stated, "He (Mount) got kicked," and opted to be cautious, adding, "We've been lucky with injuries so far, so we wanted to be careful." Video footage showed Mount walking onto the United bus without visible support or a protective boot. United had fallen behind in the second minute due to an Ibrahim Mbaye goal, but Bryan Mbeumo equalized in the 32nd minute.
Tom Heaton, United's 40-year-old goalkeeper, suffered a right hamstring injury during a second-half clearance. Matvey Safonov of PSG scored a potential equalizer but was substituted due to a foul on Joshua Zirkzee. Fletcher, Shea Lacey, and captain Bruno Fernandes created chances late in the match, providing encouragement for Carrick. United has two more friendly matches before their Premier League opener against Hull on August 22.
