A tantalizing match awaits on Saturday evening when European champions Paris Saint-Germain take on English side Manchester United in an off-season friendly at Nya Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Both sides are in the middle of marathon preparations ahead of a busy 2026/27 season, which kicks off in a few weeks.
The Red Devils travel to Sweden with their shoulders high after managing to win their previous match 2-1 against Spanish giants Atletico Madrid in the Snapdragon Cup.
United came from a goal behind to claim victory, with Bryan Mbeumo netting both of his side’s goals in another excellent team performance.

Prior to that successive win, Michael Carrick’s side opened their preparations for the new campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Wrexham, but they bounced back in style by thumping Rosenborg 5-0 in their second match.
Man United have three more friendlies this summer, taking on Leeds United and AC Milan in their next two after this one, before opening their 2026-27 Premier League campaign against Hull City on August 22.
The pre-season schedule is also helping them bed in some of their new signings, who will be hoping to make a statement ahead of the club’s return to the Champions League.
Meanwhile, for the back-to-back Champions League winners, preparations for their 2026-27 campaign started with a 3-0 loss to Mallorca on Wednesday.
The Segunda Division outfit proved too strong for the European champions, who were without a number of key players following the 2026 World Cup.
The French giants have caught a timely break with Vitinha, Joao Neves, and Nuno Mendes all back in the squad just as the new season looms.
With only two friendlies on their summer schedule, this being the last, Luis Enrique’s men are treating this as a sharp tune-up before a hectic run that includes Aston Villa in the UEFA Super Cup on August 12 and Lens in the French Super Cup four days later.
From there, it’s straight into Ligue 1 against Rennes on August 23, but the real question hanging over this side is whether they can keep their European momentum going.
