Manchester United are back in the Champions League this season due to the club’s third-place finish in the Premier League last season. The Red Devils have been drawn in arguably the toughest group in the Champions League with PSG, RB Leipzig and Istanbul Besakshehir. Manchester United will face PSG in midweek as Solskjaer will look to replicate the performance the team put in a couple of seasons ago.
PSG are one of the best sides in Europe currently, as the Parisians reached the final of the Champions League last season. Despite having a huge squad PSG have several players missing for the game due to testing positive for the coronavirus and injuries. Manchester United have a full squad to choose from including the likes of Tells, Cavani and Martial.
PSG have been in good form lately and boast the likes of Neymar, Mbappe and Di Maria, who are a threat to any side. But Manchester United will look to be tight are try to take advantage of the opposition’s shaky defence. The game will be very unpredictable as both the sides have the firepower up front to score the goals thus it might come down to the better defensive shape.

TEAM NEWS
Manchester United and Solskjaer has a full squad at disposal and is likely to pick his strongest XI. Anthony Martial will be expected to be back in the starting lineup and it will be interesting to see what system Solskjaer adopts. Alex Telles is very likely to have his debut for the Red Devils but Cavani will probably not be involved having not played in a competitive game since months.
PSG will be without several key players like Paredes and Ander Herrera but the return of Neymar has been confirmed. The Brazilian is fit and ready to start against the Red Devils and is likely to lead the line with Kylian Mbappe.
