The Swedish city of Gothenburg plays host to the heavyweight clash, as Michael Carrick’s side look to build on a friendly campaign that has seen them win their previous two matches – including a 2-1 comeback win over Atletico Madrid in Stockholm last time out.

PSG are an intimidating foe, although their star-studded squad will likely still be missing a number of players who played for France during their run to the semi-finals at the World Cup last month and they lost their previous friendly 3-0 to Mallorca. However, they will still provide a fascinating test as Carrick gears up for his first full season at the helm.
