It is quite a tough match as PSG was clearly the more offensive side, with Neymar and Mbappe creating all the havoc.
But kudos to the teamwork of all involve to shackle N and M. Once these 2 are locked, no threat. PSG defence are weak and fully exploited by our own speed demons, Martial and Rashford.
A pity Martial scored the OG, but things happened.
Ole opt to start McTom and Fred again as the centre core and the decision was spot on. Both hold the fort in midfield and help the defence when Neymar n Mbappe are in rampage mode.
Special mention on AWB and Tuanzebe. Both did exceptionally well shackling N and M. Was very worried when I saw Tuanzebe starting alongside Lindelof.
But holly molly, this young chap is good, fearless and stick to the task.
DDG gave a commanding performance again with several spectacular saves. Especially the di Maria curler.
Fernandes miss penalty again but a stroke of supreme luck when referee give another retake. DDG would be very familiar of this situtation.
Probably lost focus later on....Ole should really brought on VDB earlier on. This guy played with Ajax and had massive playing experience in UCL....at last was on only at 87th....
Of course, it was Rashford at his best to finish off PSG.
Overall, this victory was all about teamwork...a match performance Old Fergie should be proud off.
Mind you, , many wrote off Man U and was expecting PSG to run riot....
