Man Utd player ratings: Bryan Mbeumo stakes claim to starting spot up front while Harry Maguire imposes himself vs PSG

MANCHESTER UNITED stepped up their pre-season preparations as they took on Paris Saint-Germain in Sweden. Michael Carrick was able to run the rule over his side against the reigning champions of Europe, albeit missing some of their biggest stars.

Mason Mount was then forced off injured in a further blow for Carrick and Co. Sign up for the Man United newsletter Thank you! United did regroup, however, with Bryan Mbeumo‘s leveller earning them a creditable 1-1 draw. SunSport’s Samuel Luckhurst rates each United performer from Gothenburg. Tom Heaton – 6 Had to make a double save shortly after conceding to Ibrahim Mbaye. Provided authority in goal amid the absence of numbers one and two, Senne Lammens and Karl Darlow. Went off injured early in the second half. Noussair Mazraoui – 5 Caught out early on for Mbaye’s goal in what was his first appearance since the World Cup quarter-final. Started at right-back as competition between Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot resumed. Harry Maguire – 7 Off the pace for Mbaye’s goal but grew in confidence and deceived Khvicha Kvaratskhelia a couple of times. Saw out the game and started to impose himself more, having a speculative strike. Ayden Heaven – 4 Gearing up to start the season but may have thrown away his place. Caught ball-watching for the goal, he recklessly fouled Kvaratskhelia after a poor pass and was booked. A liability.

Also suffered a knock and was taken off at the same time as others. Andrey Santos – 6 Having to settle into a defensive-minded role out of necessity and he was disciplined with his deep positioning. It would have been more useful had PSG pitted Santos against Joao Neves and Vitinha. Mason Mount – 5 Forced off after 20 minutes with yet another injury. Time will tell how severe it is but it is another blow for a player who has averaged 24 games per season in his three years at United. Amad Diallo – 6 An unsurprising improvement on his mixed performance against Atletico Madrid in Stockholm. After getting 45 minutes under his belt in the Swedish capital, Amad was more urgent and a greater goal threat. Shea Lacey – 5 Quieter than on his influential showing against Atletico and struggled to impose himself in the No10 role. Not a memorable performance but more valuable experience. Patrick Dorgu – 5 Much more urgent after an unconvincing afternoon against Atletico. Showed some versatility by occasionally switching to the right and his pace had PSG on the back foot. Faded in the second-half. Youri Tielemans battles for the ball in midfield Credit: Getty Mbeumo fires Man Utd level just after the half hour Credit: Getty Bryan Mbeumo – 8 Another goal for Mbeumo as the centre forward. Aside from his fine strike, he tested goalkeeper Matvei Safonov with a couple of free kicks and a piledrive. Every chance he starts the season up front. Substitutes Tyler Fletcher – 6 An early arrival for the injured Mount, Fletcher acquitted himself confidently again in another substitute role. 6 Leny Yoro – 6 Replaced Heaven at half-time and it feels like those two are now competing to start alongside Maguire at Hull in two weeks. Involved in a tangle with Heaton that led to the goalie’s injury. 6 Diogo Dalot Came on at the interval as Carrick introduced some added competition at right back. United’s final two friendlies against Leeds United and AC Milan will likely determine who starts at Hull.

Bruno Fernandes – 6 Endeavoured to make something happen on his return to the side. Youri Tielemans – 6 Made his maiden United appearance alongside Tyler Fletcher. Joshua Zirkzee – 6 Hurt by Matvey Safonov when he tried to get onto a through ball. Comment now
