A video has emerged of Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount after the 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain, seemingly offering some insight into his fitness.
Injured
Mount was forced off with an injury scare as United and PSG cancelled each other out at the Ullevi Stadium in Sweden.
United found themselves behind inside the opening stages after PSG attacked down the right and Ibrahim Mbaye opened the scoring.
They recovered their composure and established a foothold in the contest. Bryan Mbeumo was presented with opportunities from two set-pieces and also connected with a delivery from Shea Lacey.

Amad was also afforded a scoring opportunity, with additional threats emerging from corner-kick situations. United finally got their reward just after the half-hour mark when Amad won possession high up and charged inside the box before teeing up Mbeumo, who made no mistake as he executed a brilliant finish into the bottom corner.

United’s attacking output improved following the introductions of Bruno Fernandes, Youri Tielemans, and Joshua Zirkzee. However, neither side was able to break the deadlock, and the match finished level.

The primary cause for concern would have been Mount, not least because of his excellent performances during pre-season.
Mount update
The midfielder was only on the pitch for 19 minutes in Gothenburg before he pulled up with a problem and was unable to continue.
Mount was then replaced by Tyler Fletcher.

After making way, the former Chelsea man could be seen in conversation with members of United’s medical staff. He then trod down the tunnel.
The Sun’s Samuel Luckhurst has released footage of Mount making his way to the team coach, in which the player appears to be moving without any visible problems.
In the video, Mount greets a photographer, signs an autograph for a fan and then gets into the bus.

Hopefully, it’s nothing serious and his substitution was just a precautionary measure.
