Mason Mount Injury Scare in United’s PSG Draw

Mason Mount limped off after fewer than 20 minutes of Manchester United’s 1-1 friendly draw with Paris Saint-Germain in Gothenburg on Saturday, handing Michael Carrick a fresh injury worry just a fortnight before the season starts. The England midfielder appeared to hurt his foot and, after treatment on the touchline, was replaced by Tyler Fletcher.

According to The Guardian, Mount had started the game and lasted under 20 minutes before being taken off, with the setback overshadowing an otherwise creditable United display against the European champions. The Manchester Evening News reported the midfielder himself moved to play down the scare afterwards, easing some of the immediate concern around Old Trafford.

Mason Mount’s Injury History

The timing is unwelcome. Since joining from Chelsea in 2023, Mount has been repeatedly hampered by fitness problems, restricted to a modest run of league appearances across his first three seasons at the club, many of them from the bench. A settled, injury-free spell has so far eluded the 27-year-old at Old Trafford.

Carrick will hope the problem is minor. With United’s midfield rebuilt this summer and a Premier League opener away at Hull City on 22 August fast approaching, keeping his options fit is a priority.
