What they're saying

"
Manchester United's squad for the high-profile pre-season friendly with Paris St-Germain in Gothenburg on 8 August will have a more familiar look. Michael Carrick has been leaning heavily on United's academy for the three matches so far this summer, with 10 youngsters involved in the 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid in Stockholm at the weekend. Portugal pair Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot, Brazil's Matheus Cunha and Morocco's Noussair Mazraoui are all due back – which will leave England's Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo, plus Argentina defender Lisandro Martinez as the only remaining players to rejoin Carrick's squad.
