Very good points.
Shame Leipzig win is the least likely result in their game tonight, looks like it would favour us massively if they can pull it off.
PSG and Leipzig - We’ll never get out of the group!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Shame Leipzig win is the least likely result in their game tonight, looks like it would favour us massively if they can pull it off.
That's also true if Leipzig win tonight.
If United and RB win tonight, we are through if we lose 0-1 vs Paris next week.
We are more than capable of losing at much larger margins than this at Old Trafford
This is bound to go down to a showdown with Leipzig but I suppose we're in a better situation at this stage than expected.
This has got the last match day at Leipzig all over it with us needing a point to qualify. Just got that feeling.
Agree with the above. Think PSG will beat us and it’ll all come down to the Leipzig game.
So just a single draw gets us through. Even just a 0-1 loss next week, secures the head-to-head tiebreaker over PSG, which might be handy in the final standings to top the group.

I think we're getting 15 points, but that's just me.
Don’t think a 0-1 loss helps us, PSG won’t lose to Instanbul.
No it wouldn't. If PSG and Leipzig win both their games, we are out.
A 0-1 loss doesn't get us through. It puts us ahead in head-to-head, sure, but if PSG better our result on the final day, they'll still finish ahead of us.
We will beat Paris next week, easy!
I'm very worried about the PSG game next week - Tuanzebe suspended if I heard right, Shaw injured - that's 2 of our quick players who can defend the channels well in a back 3. Lindelof also gone off injured as well as AWB. Mctominay and Bailly not involved tonight so not sure when we'll see them again.
The stage is all set for the triumphant return of Phil Jones.
I can Istanbul still causing problems for the other 2 in the group. We need to get the job done against PSG next week.
Chill pal
No they won’t . They’re rubbish
Can’t say I’m overly worried about PSG. Obviously they have a superb attack, but their midfield and defence isn’t anything special.
He's not even in the CL squad is he?
It’s not over until it’s over. But a draw against PSG is enough.
If we draw or win vs PSG then it will be them who go out as I can't see us winning in Germany if we are already through. It would then be us and Leipzig who go through.
That's what he wants you to believe.
If Istanbul can do us a favour and beat Leipzig next week then I believe we're pretty much through even if we lose to PSG? It would mean Leipzig and Istanbul can get a max of 9 points and we have better head to head than Istanbul and have a 5-0 advantage over Leipzig.
I wouldn't bank on it because I think Istanbul may consider the group gone now and not bother with the last 2 games, it depends how much they want that 3rd place spot for europa. They're certainly not the worst team and could potentially cause on upset if they're on their game.

We should be winning the group really
What?Chill pal
We're playing PSG which we could lose at the best of times, with no defenders fit it has to be a concern no?
Cavani sinking PSG, make it happen, Ole.
I think playing with no pressure might suit us to be honest, I think Ole would still put out a respectable line up if we're already through as he'll want top spot.
If we win the midfield battle I’m confident we can at least draw.
Taken off as a precaution . I wouldn’t be freaking out yet
Pogba hat trick coming up just to confuse the feck out of everyone
Back 5 against PSG surely.
Palace, Spurs, Arsenal, Brighton, Istanbul, West Brom have all either beat us, outplayed us or ran us very close this season but PSG aren't a worry because they're not anything special.
Shaw injured, Tuanzebe suspended. Bailly not in the squad today so assumed injured. Lindelof and AWB went off injured.
Don't worry guys. Here's what's gonna happen. Istanbul to win 2, and we lose both. All teams on 9 points, but we'd be extremely likely to win the group on goal difference. Easy.
PSG are a bunch of pussies. We shall win
Well it's either a make shift back 4 or a make shift back 5. Would have to consider McTominay as an option. Let's hope Lindelof's isn't so bad.
