Mason Mount withdrawn with apparent foot injury in PSG pre-season friendly

Mason Mount was substituted with an apparent injury during Manchester United’s pre-season friendly against PSG on 2026-08-08, leaving the field after 19 minutes and being replaced by youngster Tyler Fletcher.

United conceded an early goal in the match and then suffered the setback when Mount went off after the 19th minute; he initially managed to jog from the pitch but, following a discussion with medical staff, went down the tunnel.

A social media post accompanying footage read: "Mount goes off with what looks like a foot injury. Manages to jog off but a concern for #mufc. Reinforces the need to sign a third midfielder pic.twitter.com/CgTjjhsHNj"

Mount has featured regularly in pre-season in a deeper role and has impressed a lot, according to the report.

The injury is described in the source as another setback for the England international since joining Manchester United.

The article states the problem might force the club back into the transfer market and sign a 3rd midfielder this summer.

Mount had been tipped to start Manchester United’s Premier League 2026-27 opener vs Hull City; his fitness for that fixture is now in question.
