Overview
- Mount was taken off inside 20 minutes of Manchester United’s 1-1 friendly with Paris Saint-Germain in Gothenburg on Saturday after appearing to suffer a foot knock and was replaced by Tyler Fletcher.
- Manager Michael Carrick said the decision was precautionary and meant to protect the player from a potentially worse problem.
- Post-match video showed Mount walking normally to the team coach, which has reduced immediate alarm but the club has not confirmed the nature or severity of the issue.
- The same match produced another fitness concern when veteran goalkeeper Tom Heaton suffered a right hamstring problem and was substituted in the second half.
- Mount’s long record of injuries since his 2023 move from Chelsea leaves his short-term availability and selection for the Premier League opener on August 22 subject to the outcome of United’s medical checks.
