Manchester United take on Paris Saint-Germain in a high-profile friendly clash today. The Red Devils are quickly back in Sweden, a week after Bryan Mbeumo’s second-half brace secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Atletico Madrid at Stockholm’s Strawberry Arena.
Team News and Context
This time Michael Carrick’s side visit Gothenburg’s Nya Ullevi Stadium for a tough test against the reigning back-to-back European champions, seeking their third win in four pre-season matches after a disappointing opening 1-0 loss to Wrexham in Helsinki was followed by a 5-0 thrashing of Rosenborg in Trondheim.
Man Utd are set to hand a debut to new signing Youri Tielemans against PSG, with captain Bruno Fernandes also now back from his post-World Cup break but Senne Lammens and Matheus Cunha both missing out through illness. They are expected to return during next week’s training camp in the Republic of Ireland, with rivals Leeds lying in wait in a showdown at Dublin’s Croke Park on Wednesday night.
