Not the scenario Michael Carrick needed before the season start.

Manchester United continued their pre-season with a friendly against the European champions Paris Saint Germain, though were handed a bitter blow just 20 minutes into the match.

Michael Carrick's Red Devils have started their friendly campaign emphatically, thrashing Rosenborg 5-0 and dispatching Atletico Madrid 2-1.

Then taking on Luis Enrique's world-class outfit, the score remained all square after Bryan Mbeumo fired the side level after Ibrahim Mbaye opened the scoring.

Though a concern has come the way of Carrick, with Mason Mount forced off early into the match.

Mount, who has suffered seriously with numerous injuries in previous campaigns, was replaced by teenager Tyler Fletcher in Sweden.

The extent of the injury remains unknown, with more information to follow after the game as we get it.

United will be hoping that the injury is not too serious, with the club then taking on Leeds United and AC Milan, managed by former gaffer Ruben Amorim.

The Red Devils then kick off their Premier League campaign against the newly promoted Hull City on Saturday 22 August at 12:30.
