Can't argue with the result, even if we were a bit wasteful and at times disjointed in attack. I much prefer us when we put out a more solid midfield, it makes a world of difference.

We are infuriatingly inconsistent and how Ole gets these huge away performances over and over again, I’ll never know! We made PSG look pretty ordinary tonight and could have won by more.

Fred outstanding and brilliant goal Marcus! Get in!

For all the talk about Ole not trusting his bench, tonight and against Newcastle we've seen players who are willing to really wear the badge and get stuck in, and I really think that's made a difference after the Spurs match. I just worry that Martial is in moody mode again. Hope Cavani can offer something different.

That line up shows the coward ogs has fast become and smacks of the defeatists attitude that proves to his haters from day 1, he is not the one to take us forward.
That aged like unpasteurised milk.

It’s fun to see an entire screen of ‘a few seconds ago’ positivity on the front page.

I thought both teams were a bit average/poor. Attack heavy but not too difficult to bypass the midfield, the problem is both attacks were found lacking in the final pass/assist department. Good skill from Rashford decided the game. He should have had 2 or three assists though if he applied himself better at times.
In that mishmash midfield potatoe salad, I thought Fred stood out, had a decent game. Wan Bissaka and Tuanzebe get a shout-out too, just bossed it.

Hard to put that performance into words. Any of the 'hipster' coaches pulls that off tonight in these circumstances and there'll be pages of lyrical waxing. Incredible win. I'm on such a high right now. Man of the match... Manchester United! But if I was hard pressed to mention a name... Axel, son of Tuanzebe, Take. A. Bow.

I'll admit I didn't see that one coming, we were superb tonight and should've scored a couple more with a bit more composure. Great win.

The pens are almost getting a bit awkward at this point though, but I think I can live with that. :D

Excellent performance. Post-Fergie we've generally withdrawn further and further back when the opposition get a few chances, today even though PSG had a few moments you never got the sense United would just fall back towards their goal. Always had chances, Ole knew the game was there for the taking and so it proved.

Funny but I didn’t miss ... Pogba (early on) - or Maguire. Lindelof deserves credit as does Fred. Dominated them in midfield ... will be interesting with Cavani

Great result, good first half, begging of 2nd half was cowardish, at the end we picked 3pts.

Very good performance, felt Rash and Martial could have done better though until the goal.........Key is though to not make the same mistake we made the last time we beat PSG and keep ourselves grounded. Onto Chelsea!

We beat them. Proper beat them. No smash and grab. We actually shat on them second half. Amazing game, great tactics and probably the best game management ive seen from ole. That one felt really good

I would have been disappointed had we not got the points there. Brilliant stuff all round defensively, really needed to be more clinical at the other end.

Rashford in particular was frustrating but cracking finish to win it.

Get in there!

Maybe a hyperbole but Tuanzebe is our best defender.

Fred, AWB, McTominay, Pogba when he came on, DDG, Shaw... all very good. Martial was very disappointing.

Really impressive performance. We pretty much controlled the game. Fred was my MOTM - he made some vitally important interceptions and was key to stopping their attack. Aaron was fantastic too. It's criminal that Axel can't stay fit - after a year out of action, comes to Paris and pockets Mbappe. Great finish by Marcus but his decision making was poor at times.

Overall, really happy with that.

That was a great time. Tuanzebe looked the part tonight. I have a feeling he could be the difference between splashing multi millions on a new centre-back and not. Let's hope this kind of performance can be replicated into the domestics and he can stay fit.

Rashford was missing Sterling-style all throughout that game then in almost typical Sterling fashion, takes one after 7-8 attempts. Cavani and Greenwood being available would have made the victory margin more I would think.

McFredinay is the first 2 names on the team sheet, in an away game of this magnitude going forward.

If Tuanzebe can stay fit then he plays every game, simple as

Fred MOTM.

Rashford and Martial 6.5/10... some poor decision making which could have cost us.

Everyone else 9/10.

What a great performance. Ole got it bang on tactically. PSG were suicidal leaving all that space against our front 3.

We need Martial and Rashford to get their Mojo back though. But I have faith they will step up soon enough.
Tuanzebe was easily MOTM for me. Dominant all over the pitch.

Axel, Scott, Fred, AWB, Shaw, Lindelof provided a rock solid base for that performance.
If it wasn't for a poor final ball, or some sloppiness up front, we could have come away with an even more impressive score.

Rashford won it in the end, but up to that point, he was our weakest link yet again. He fluffed three breakaway attacks and his off the ball movement was terrible at times.
Hopefully scoring that goal will be the jolt he needs.

Great performance, defense outshone attack for once. Wan Bissaka was outstanding as was the rest of the defense to be honest.

I was getting frustrated with Rashford and was starting to wonder if he'd lost confidence but he shut me up good and proper!

Wel done lads.

AWB was my motm but honestly could have gone to 3 or 4 others. Tuanzebe, McTominay, Fred, De Gea.

Notable mentions to Shaw and Telles. Front 3 were quite wasteful imo and on another night we should've won by 5 goals.

Overall though I'm chuffed. Especially for Marcus Rashford MBE :drool::drool:

Impressed with Tuanzebe. If he can do that after a year out against... well, Neymar and Mbappe... he will probably make it here as a Man Utd player!

The triangle of Fred, Wan Bissaka and Tuanzebe did incredible against Neymar and Mbappe tonight. Some better decision making on the night and it wouldnt have even been close. Props to De Gea as well one of his best games in recent memory.

Great game...! Lovely sharp passing tonight, everyone looked switched on for once. Felt bad for Tony. De Gea showing all the haters why he's our no.1. Loved the way Bruno stuck to his skipping guns on his second attempt.

Great confidence from the whole team. Well done, come on the Reds! Ole's at the wheel!
