Bryan Mbeumo's equaliser saw the spoils shared at the final whistle

Manchester United ramped up their pre-season preparations as they played out an entertaining draw with Paris Saint-Germain in Sweden. The reigning European champions took the lead inside two minutes, with Ibrahim Mbaye finishing off a sweeping team move from close range.

Eventually, the equaliser arrived when Bryan Mbeumo fired into the bottom corner from just inside the box. Both sides made plenty of changes in the second half as they pushed for a winner, but no more goals arrived and it ended level.

Express Sport rates and slates the United players following today's draw...

Man Utd player ratings vs PSG Tom Heaton - 6 Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT

Handed a start with Senne Lammens still recovering from illness. Pulled his hamstring in the second half and was replaced. Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT

Noussair Mazraoui - 5

Could have done more to stop the cross that led to the opening goal. Fared better going forward with a few dangerous crosses.

Harry Maguire - 7

Defended reasonably well and used his passing to start attacks from the very back, finding the wingers on several occasions.

Ayden Heaven - 4

Lost the run of Mbaye in the build-up to the opening goal and was booked for a clumsy challenge on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Not great.

Luke Shaw - 5

Too slow to track back for the first goal, jogging instead of making a real effort to get there. Did okay apart from that.

Andrey Santos - 6

Raced back to snuff out a dangerous counter-attacking move. Kept things ticking in the middle of the park with simple passes.

Mason Mount - n/a

Substituted early on after picking up a knock with Michael Carrick taking no chances. Hopefully nothing too serious.

Patrick Dorgu - 6

Started on the left wing before switching to the right. Used his tricky feet to beat defenders but lacked a killer final ball.

Amad - 8

Pressed brilliantly to win the ball before feeding Mbeumo for the equaliser. Another strong display, unplayable at times.

Shea Lacey - 7

Impressed with his range of passing in the final third to pick out team-mates in dangerous positions.

Bryan Mbeumo - 8

Equalised with a sweetly-struck effort into the bottom corner. Forced a number of strong saves in search of another goal.

Youri Tielemans came on for his United debut in the second half

Substitutes Tyler Fletcher - 6

Played most of the game after replacing Mount early in the first half. Looked composed on the ball but didn't exactly stand out.

Leny Yoro - 6

Introduced at the break, replacing Heaven. Looks set to compete with the English youngster for a starting spot this season.

Diogo Dalot - 6

Came on for the second half with Mazraoui making way. Had a decent game at both ends of the pitch.

Dermot Mee - 6

Called into action to replace Heaton between the sticks. Didn't see a great deal of action with United the better team in the second half.

Bruno Fernandes - 7

Was given just under half an hour and immediately took control in the middle of the park, nearly scoring with an attempted pass that trickled wide of the post.

Youri Tielemans - 6

Received a warm reception as he came on for his United debut. Looked promising on the transition from defence to attack.

Harry Amass - 6

Got a run out despite reportedly being available for transfer. Lively going forward, getting himself involved as United pushed for a winner.

Joshua Zirkzee - 6

Put himself about in the final third and should have won a free-kick when he got clattered by the goalkeeper near the halfway line.

Jack Fletcher - 6

Joined his twin brother on the pitch with 25 minutes remaining. Squandered a late chance to score from point-blank range.
