Manchester United continued their preparations for the new season with a draw against Paris Saint-Germain in Gothenburg, although it was a game marred by injury concerns.

United fell behind inside two minutes, with Dro Fernandez crossing for Ibrahim Mbaye to tap in for PSG, but Bryan Mbeumo continued his hot streak and scored an equaliser after good work from Amad.

That was the end of the scoring, but Mason Mount had limped off in the first half and Tom Heaton went off just after the break, giving Michael Carrick a couple of headaches as his side fly to Ireland.

This is how every United player rated in Gothenburg:

Tom Heaton: Early save from Kvaratskhelia and although he spilt it he was up quickly to block the follow-up. Picked up an injury early in the second half after a clash with Yoro. 6

Noussair Mazraoui: Dragged out of position by Kvaratskhelia inside the first two minutes, and the left flank was exposed for a goal. Grew into the game after that. 6

Harry Maguire: One turn away from Kvaratskhelia earned gasps from the United fans and drilled a stunning ball over the top to Mbeumo in the second half. Passing on point. 8

Ayden Heaven: His shakiest display of pre-season to date. Caught out by an early cross for Mbaye's goal and then gifted the ball to Kvaratskhelia soon after. An attempt to make amends resulted in a rash foul. 5

Luke Shaw: Took a knock in a challenge but seemed fine after and that is a good sign. Dealt with the PSG attack comfortably enough with most of the threat down the other flank. 7

Andrey Santos: Looks the part and another stylish pre-season performance. Comfortable on the ball and sharp in defensive areas as well. Looks certain to start vs Hull. 7

Mason Mount: Had been flying in pre-season but fitness always a worry and the sight of him limping off in the first half was a worrying one. 5

Amad: His pressing has been excellent in his first two games of the summer and he was the architect of Mbeumo's goal, winning the ball high up the pitch and finding the pass to the striker. 7

Shea Lacey: Another lively performance featuring some smart touches. Created a good chance for Mbeumo in the first half and was willing to take the ball under pressure. 7

Patrick Dorgu: A lively display down the left and one superb touch in the first half. Final product needs sharpening up still. 7

Bryan Mbeumo: Started slowly but when it clicked he came alive. Took his goal brilliantly, hit the target with two free-kicks and forced Safonov into two more saves. Looked very dangerous. 8

Substitutes

Tyler Fletcher: Early introduction for the injured Mount and looked composed in midfield. 7

Diogo Dalot: A quiet half but looked more secure than Mazraoui. 6

Leny Yoro: Came on at the break for Heaven and although he collided with Heaton he looked secure enough and staked his claim. 6

Dermot Mee: An unexpected outing after Heaton's injury. 6

Harry Amass: On for another cameo but two poor crosses. 5

Youri Tielemans: One crisp pass into Fernandes caught the eye. 7

Bruno Fernandes: Huge ovation when he came on but still finding his feet. 6

Jack Fletcher: Played on the right wing again. 6

Joshua Zirkzee: Took a whack from Safonov then wasted a decent chance. 5
