Paris Saint-Germain take on Manchester United in a blockbuster summer friendly match at the Nya Ullevi in Gothenburg, Sweden on Saturday afternoon.
The reigning European champions suffered a 3-0 defeat to Mallorca last time out, although Luis Enrique was missing several of his big hitters.
United, however, have defeated Rosenborg 5-0 and Atletico Madrid 2-1 in their two most recent pre-season matches, building some nice momentum heading into the new season.
PSG will have one eye on the UEFA Super Cup against Aston Villa next Wednesday, while United have two more friendly games against Leeds United and AC Milan before the campaign begins.

Paris Saint-Germain v Manchester United Prediction
Best Bet: Man United to win @ 9/10
The Red Devils suffered a 1-0 defeat against Wrexham in what was their first pre-season fixture last month.
Michael Carrick’s side have improved significantly since then, securing solid victories over Rosenborg and Atletico, setting the side up for this glamour tie against PSG.
The French champions lost heavily to Mallorca, albeit without plenty of their stars, with only Khvicha Kvaratskhelia the biggest name to feature.
Ousmane Dembele, Fabian Ruiz, Lucas Hernandez, Bradley Barcola, Desire Doue and Warren Zaire-Emery still remain absent due to their exploits at the World Cup.
As such, Carrick will fancy his chances of leading United to a third consecutive friendly victory this Saturday.
While PSG shouldn’t be counted out, given the squad depth and the fact Vitinha, Joao Neves, Nuno Mendes and Marquinhos are back in the fold, expect United to seal another victory.
Alternative Bet: Bryan Mbeumo to score anytime @ 13/10
Bryan Mbeumo burst into life against Atletico last time out, scoring a brace that took United from a goal down to eventually winning 2-1.
He is following an impressive debut season at Old Trafford, having scored 12 goals in all competitions for the Red Devils in 2025/26.
His two goals against Atletico will certainly bolster his confidence entering the clash against the current European champions and there is no reason why he cannot get on the scoresheet once more.
While Marquinhos will likely start at centre-back, Mbeumo will enjoy terrorising a PSG defence which isn’t at full strength.
Mbeumo led the line in Carrick’s 4-2-3-1 system last time out, so expect more of the same in Sweden this Saturday.
Paris Saint-Germain v Manchester United Bet Builder Tip
- Both teams to score
- Manchester United to score in both halves
- Over 3 goals
Pays 12/5
Enrique will be expecting a much improved display from his side against United, even if half of his squad were missing for the 3-0 loss last time against Mallorca.
Eyes will be on the Super Cup next week, but PSG must find their scoring touch and they should have a chance of notching at least once against a United side which conceded goals against Wrexham and Atletico recently.
Saying that, United will be brimming with confidence and they are expected to find the net in both halves during this friendly clash.
The Red Devils will be looking to make a fast start against PSG, especially as Carrick will know just how effective the French side can be should they click into gear.
Scoring in both halves shouldn’t be beyond this side, especially with PSG focusing on bigger matches ahead.
There are usually goals when these two sides have meet with 11 goals scored in the last three games between the two.
While this is a friendly with nothing at stake, there should still be goals in this clash between two European giants.
