PSG just unexpectedly lost 0-3 to Mallorca in a pre-season friendly match. The La Liga representative appeared superior to the European champion, in the context that PSG still lacks some key players due to just participating in the 2026 World Cup.
Coach Luis Enrique's team welcomed the return of Vitinha, Joao Neves and Nuno Mendes before this match. PSG's force is expected to continue to be strengthened in the coming days as the new season is approaching.
The reigning Champions League champion only has 2 friendly matches this summer and the match against Mallorca is the final general rehearsal before entering the official schedule. On August 12, the French team will face Aston Villa in the UEFA Super Cup, before facing Lens in the French Super Cup 4 days later.
PSG has only made one contract in the summer of 2026, when recruiting young goalkeeper Alessandro Longoni from AC Milan. In the opposite direction, Goncalo Ramos, Randal Kolo Muani and Lee Kang-in are among the players who have left the team.
On the other side, Manchester United entered the match with higher confidence after a 2-1 victory over Atletico Madrid in the Snapdragon Cup. "The Red Devils" were led but successfully reversed the score thanks to a double by Bryan Mbeumo, thereby extending the series of positive results in the preparation period.
Coach Michael Carrick's team started the summer with a 0-1 defeat to Wrexham, but quickly improved their form with a 5-0 victory over Rosenborg and continued to defeat Atletico 2-1.
Man United still has 2 friendly matches after the confrontation with PSG, respectively against Leeds United and AC Milan, before opening the Premier League 2026-2027 with a match against Hull City on August 22.
