Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United draw 1-1 in pre-season friendly
Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United played to a 1-1 draw in a pre-season friendly in Gothenburg. Ibrahim Mbaye opened the scoring for PSG early in the match, but Bryan Mbeumo equalized for United following an assist from Amad Diallo.
For PSG, the match served as a final preparation step before the UEFA Super Cup against Aston Villa on August 12. Manager Luis Enrique noted that while the team made errors, the performance was positive as several key players, including Marquinhos, Vitinha, and Nuno Mendes, returned to action. The club is also integrating returning World Cup players such as Achraf Hakimi and Ousmane Dembélé, though their availability for the Super Cup remains uncertain.
Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick expressed satisfaction with the team's development but noted injury concerns, specifically regarding Mason Mount, who was forced off during the match. The squad is preparing to travel to Ireland for further training, where they expect the return of Marcus Rashford and Lisandro Martínez.
Off the pitch, PSG continues its transfer activity, with reports linking the club to Ferran Torres and potential interest in goalkeeper Zion Suzuki.
