Manchester United and PSG meet in a pre-season friendly on Saturday at the Ullevi Stadium.
Manchester United arrive with promising pre-season form under Michael Carrick. After a narrow 1-0 loss to Wrexham in their opening friendly, the Red Devils responded emphatically. They thrashed Rosenborg 5-0 and then claimed a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Atletico Madrid in Stockholm. Carrick’s team have shown attacking fluency and are gaining momentum as several senior internationals return to the squad.
Carrick welcomes back several senior internationals following their World Cup breaks.
New signing Youri Tielemans is expected to make his first official appearance for United, while skipper Bruno Fernandes and full-backs Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui have travelled and could play.
Bryan Mbeumo is likely to lead the attack after scoring twice in the 2-1 win against Atletico. But the squad also has significant absences. Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo and Lisandro Martinez remain unavailable because of required post-World Cup rest.
Benjamin Sesko is out with a persistent shin problem, and Matthijs de Ligt and Manuel Ugarte are sidelined long-term.
Matheus Cunha and goalkeeper Senne Lammens miss out through illness. With Altay Bayindir and Radek Vitek finalising loan moves, 40-year-old Tom Heaton is expected to start in goal.
Possible Manchester United starting XI: Heaton; Yoro, Maguire, Heaven, Shaw; Tielemans, Mount; Amad, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo
The match will kick off at 4pm BST on Saturday, 8th August.
