    We've seen PSG having one foot in the next round a number of times and then making a hash of it, so if anyone is going to bottle it then it will be PSG. If we can grab an early goal then it is game on and I'd fancy us. Everyone thinks we're dead and buried so let's go and have a crack at it. I think we might go 3-4-3 or 3-5-2. If we go a goal or two down then maybe get a couple of the young lads on and let them experience it and rest the starters for Arsenal.

    Full on press right from kick off - if we score early then its game on. We cant show the feckers any respect

    Don't think we necessarily have to score early on. If it were 0-0 going into the 70th minute for example I'd be happy with that.

    Truth be told it's probably 90/10 in PSG's favour, but stranger things have happened.

    I hate to be a pessimist but I’ve almost forgotten about this game. It seems like a complete write off. The pogba suspension and the injuries during the first game and since leaves us almost no chance I’m afraid.

    I fear from a heavy defeat here. Our midfield is a mess, without Pogba too. The most difficult test for Ole this.

    I'm tempted to say just play the youngsters after 60 mins, if they score to make sure there aren't more injuries heading into the Arsenal game.

    The only positive from United point of view is that Chelsea, Arsenal as well as Tottenham will have extra European matches to play. Might be useful to secure top-four.

    First line up close to what I was thinking, but with Shaw instead of Young, but could see that, as Shaw has played every game recently. Would play McTominay and Fred as holding midfield players, although Fred would be able to support any attacks going forward, as long as he was able to get back in a defensive position when PSG break. Pereira in the central attacking midfield position, like Lingard v Spurs, and Rashford coming in from wide left and Lukaku coming in from wide right, leaving space on both wings for Dalot and Shaw (Young) to exploit. I think Ole needs to hit PSG with a surprise somewhere, whether this could be it, I'm not sure, be we have to go for it, and probably will. Get an early goal, and who knows, let in an early goal and it's probably goodnight. Would have Chong, Gomes and Garner on bench, also Greenwood if fit, and if we are losing, then give some of them a runout.

    We will lose this one by two goals. Hopefully, will do Arsenal at the weekend.

    Seeing as we need to score 3 goals to advance, I think we should go all offense with what we have. So I see no reason to play with 3 midfielders, especially considering Pogba won't be playing. Let's face it, a 3 man midfield without Pogba will be defensive and we need goals. So it's a traditional 4-4-2 for me...

    --------------------------De Gea--------------------------
    Dalot-----------Smalling-------Lindeloff----------Shaw
    Young----------McTominay---Matic-----------Martial
    ---------------Lukaku---------Rashford----------------

    If Martial and Matic aren't ready to play then I guess Chong gets his debut as a starter on the wing, and Periera or Fred steps into the midfield

    Being knocked up at this stage, as is most likely will mostly help us in finishing third in the league.

    Given the packed schedule of rivals and mounting injuries it might just be a blessing in disguise.

    We don't stand a chance against PSG 2-0 down with this squad so I'd just play the kids. Make sure we're relatively fresh for the Arsenal game.

    DDG
    Dalot - Mike - Lindelof - Shaw
    Garner - McTominay
    Chong - Gomes - Pereira
    Lukaku

    Obviously this is never going to happen.

    I feel like we have a great chance if we score without reply in the first half.

    Going into half time with it still being 0-2 sounds like too much a mountain to climb.

    I agree with this! There's no way we'll be able keep control in the midfield with the players we have out so get the ball up to our goal threats ASAP and hope they can produce some magic!

    We'd do well to keep it to 3-0 with that midfield

    Can't see us going through but it would nice if we could get a draw to show that the first leg was a horrible day at the office

    Hopefully, We'll play without any worry. Just have a go at it. Be brave but cautious at the back.
    I have no other expectations for this game.

    Some things give me a little hope and as long as it remains, I will look forward to the match.

    One is the uncertainty. This time, PSG can hardly figure out in advance how we will play. We will also have a number of players on the pitch who want to fight for a regular place in the starting line. If Ole can make them fight for their life and surpass themselves then there is a possibility.

    The second is unexpected coincidences. If we get one or maybe even two penalties or PSG gets an early red card on a key player (preferably Veratti) then it can change the match picture pretty much.

    The chances are very small but they exist and I find it hard to imagine anything other than that the players and Ole are really investing in trying to achieve a miracle. They know that if it succeeds, they will all be heroes and who does not want to be?

    It's a tall order but the players available should give it a go if they deem themselves United calibre players.

    If we qualify from this fixture, Solksjær deserves a statue. Hope we give a good account of ourselves and use this as a window to attract some talent. Think this tie is a goal too far for us with the injuries we have unfortunately.

    I'd play 3-5-2 with Lukaku and Rashford up top. Give Shaw a rest along with Pogba's.

    I'd love to shock these pricks and steal one. Easily one of my 3 least favorite clubs in world football. Can't stand anything about them.

    Need a Lukaku hattrick :). Not sure how we should get the service. Shaw need to attack a lot and hopefully Lingard or Martial can play this one.

    We can hope they are a bit arrogant, and think they are already through, and are not really switched on, possibly score an early goal, and PSG miss their chances, and then who knows? I don't think we'll be holding back when we get the ball.

    I haven't read a single arrogant statement from PSG after the first game. And if someone does say something, i highly doubt Tuchel, Buffon or Alves would let that fly.

    That's about the only way they can lose this IMO but I think Tuchel won't allow that to happen. This isn't the same PSG mentally that beat Barcelona 4-0 and lost 6-1, they've learned from it and I fully expect them to progress to the next stage with another win, especially without Pogba for United. That being said, a set-piece or penalty is all it would take to put some pressure on the hosts, I just think Mbappe or Di Maria will turn up again with a goal or two for PSG and make it impossible for United to mount a serious comeback.

    I think most people expect them to get through, but If De Gea has one of those games, and Pereira can hit one like yesterday, who knows. I would love to see us score and put pressure on them, even if we do go out. Some players will learn a lot from this match.
