Manchester United Faces PSG in Pre-Season Clash in Gothenburg
Manchester United continues their pre-season tour of Scandinavia with a match against reigning Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in Gothenburg. The game is scheduled to take place at Ullevi Stadium on Saturday, August 8, with kickoff set for 4pm BST.
Michael Carrick’s side began their tour with a loss against Wrexham but quickly bounced back with two successive victories. Their latest match saw them earn a 2-1 comeback win against Atletico Madrid in Stockholm, highlighted by a brace from Bryan Mbeumo.
PSG poses a significant challenge, though many of their top players are still recovering from their commitments with the French national team during this summer’s World Cup. The French club, having already suffered a 3-0 defeat to Mallorca in their first pre-season friendly, aims to regain form in this encounter against United.
This upcoming match against Manchester United will be PSG’s second and final friendly of the pre-season, promising a competitive spectacle for fans.

PSG represent another step up in quality, although several of their star-studded squad will still be recovering after their exploits for France at this summer’s World Cup, and the French giants – still missing many of those top names – suffered a 3-0 defeat to Mallorca in the first of their pre-season friendlies.
This game against United’s is PSG’s second and last friendly of the summer, so it should be a more competitive affair.
