Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has provided updates on both Mason Mount’s recent injury scare and Marcus Rashford’s potential return to the team. Carrick emphasized that he had to be “careful” with Mount after the England midfielder was substituted early in the 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in Gothenburg (thesun.co.uk). Mount, 27, jogged off the pitch but was walking freely when he left the field, and Carrick confirmed he is monitoring the situation closely (thesun.co.uk).

Meanwhile, Carrick also revealed plans for Marcus Rashford, who could be set to return to the squad as Manchester United prepares for the new season. Rashford, who previously worked under Ruben Amorim, may face a reunion with his former manager (standard.co.uk). Carrick’s comments suggest a cautious approach to both players’ readiness, balancing optimism with the need for thorough assessment.

The club is also exploring options to strengthen their forward line, with Michael Owen suggesting that Benjamin Sesko may not be the long-term solution and that a new striker should be signed (metro.co.uk). Carrick’s focus on both injury management and squad preparation highlights the challenges facing United as they aim for stability in the upcoming season.
