Mason Mount Substituted in Pre-Season Match Amid Injury Concerns
Mason Mount was substituted early in Manchester United's pre-season match against Paris Saint-Germain, which ended in a 1-1 draw. The midfielder left the field less than 20 minutes into the game after appearing to sustain a knock, prompting his replacement by Tyler Fletcher.
Head coach Michael Carrick addressed the situation, indicating that the substitution was a precautionary measure. He noted that Mount had been kicked and emphasized the team's desire to manage injuries carefully, especially since they had been fortunate with injuries so far.
Following the match, Mount was seen walking without any visible difficulty, suggesting that the injury may not be serious. Since joining United from Chelsea in 2023, Mount has faced multiple fitness issues, making only 25 Premier League starts out of a possible 114. The team has two more pre-season matches before their Premier League opener against Hull City on August 22.
