Best performance of the season by a mile. Every player was excellent, and Ole just as much so. Hope this gives us the confidence to kick on with some tough games coming up.

Lots of people call that 3-1 win a miracle last year, certainly cannot say the case this time round.

We played out of our skins, extremely happy with the way the guys played. Can't remember our defenders making so many clean, important tackles like they did, every one of them.

Please use this as a springboard guys!

No worries
Thought we were fantastic. Only the front three could've done better, if they were on form we could've won this by a three or four goal margin.

It has to be said though, how can a team with Neymar and Mbappe in it be so shite?

Thought McTominay was excellent tonight. Lived on the edge at times but he played with so much energy and aggression and did really well to break up their rhythm.

Hardest game in the group of death and we won. Very promising. Hard to complain about any performance.

Very pleasing performance. Had we showed more composure on the counter we could have won the game much more easily. The players executed the game plan to a tee. We not only won, we deserved to.

Tuazanbe, AWB, Fred and Bruno were 10/10. Everyone else was about 8.5 minimum.

Tremendous all around

Proud of the team! What a fecking brilliant performance and a fully deserved away win. And against whom? Wonderful!!!

de Gea is a MotM, but everyone (apart from Martial) played very well or better.

Pogba with a great assist in the end with his short cameo, Will be good for his confidence

Players broadly played to and above their ability. Fantastic tactical performance against a very flat PSG who really didn’t look like they fancied it.

I give everyone 10/10 except Martial 9/10. I feel like the own goal could have been done better while in 2nd half he couldn’t get pass Diallo unlike the first half. Everyone were great.

Best game we've played since the last time we played this lot.

I'm going to touch myself tonight while thinking of how much Neymar hates us. The twat.

Also, Telles has a hell of a left foot and Tuanzebe looks like Maldini reincarnated. Very exciting stuff.

Manchester Utd never lose, just run out of time
Would have smashed them if we had pre-injury Rashford. Credit to him though he still got the winning goal despite that, hopefully that'll help his confidence.

Overall I expected PSG to struggle against this line-up, although I wasn't expecting them to be as bad as what they were.

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.

Well done guys. Would have been really annoyed if we drew that. PSG were there for the taking. Marcus Rashford MBE, the nightmare of Paris. Come on

Very very nice. Loved that.

Commentators saying PSG have injury issues, we were without our captain and arguably two best CBs, our only out-and-out attacking RW option and our best/only CDM!

We made them look like a pub team. Could have been way more comfortable if our attackers had that last sharpness in attacking situations.

Everyone played well. Fred deserves a lot of credit though, he's a warrior. DDG was vital too.

Wan Bissaka was a complete maniac out there. Loved it.
Him and Fred gobbled up ground, quality of tackling and interceptions so high. Surprised after the Telles sub they didn’t put Mbappe on Shaw instead.

Superb performance. Apart from stupidly missed chances there is nothing to complain about. Solid solid team effort.

Great balance in the midfield when McT and Fred both play.

Telles, take a bow man. Great crosses. Should be regular starter now. Shaw more suited as LCB than LB.

Bruno good as usual. Lucky about pen.

Martial not so good game. But won pen.

Rashford so many missed chances and poor runs. But scored the winner.

Entire defense was good. Lindelof did not make a single mistake! Incarnation.

Excellent performance and a fully deserved win. We created plenty and should have had more goals. De Gea was excellent when called upon.

Tuanzebe my man of the match. He was tremendous when thrown in against such a good attack. Maguire, you're dropped.

Well done to the team and Ole.

Every time I see Tuanzebe play I'm impressed.

What a difference having a fast defender at the back! PLEASE stay fit Axel

Good result for the boys today. De Gea played SUPER today. Telles played really good, I would love to see more than him.
