A problem for Carrick. Manchester United star injured in match against PSG
Manchester United were hit with troubling news during their friendly against PSG in Gothenburg. Midfielder Mason Mount was forced off the pitch just 20 minutes into the match due to an injury.
The English midfielder was unable to continue, raising serious concerns for Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick. The exact nature of Mount's injury and the timeline for his recovery have not yet been specified.
The situation is particularly worrying for Carrick, with the new Premier League season right around the corner. Manchester United kick off their campaign on August 22 with an away fixture against Hull City, leaving the coaching staff with very little time to prepare the squad and assess the fitness of key players.
Mount's injury could prove to be a significant headache for Carrick as pre-season preparations draw to a close. Now, the coaching staff can only wait for the results of the medical examination and hope the injury isn’t too serious, allowing the midfielder to recover in time for the start of the season.
As for the match itself, things are looking fairly positive for the English club. After Mbaye opened the scoring in the second minute, Mbeumo equalized for United. The score stands at 1-1 at halftime.
