Manchester United were outclassed by the brilliance of the French champions Paris Saint-Germain at Old Trafford, as Kylian Mbappe and Presnel Kimpembe scored the game’s two goals, whilst United’s superstar Paul Pogba saw red.
It was a tight and cagey first half, but Thomas Tuchel’s men quickly came into the game in the second 45, ex-United man Angel Di Maria began to pull the strings, which resulted in the Argentine assisting both of Kimpembe and Mbappe’s tap-ins.
This result is the first time United have tasted defeat under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, meaning it is now 10 wins, one draw and one loss for the Norwegian in his interim tenure, and perhaps it is also the first big test failed.
The treble-winner of ’99 could do very little once PSG got going, and, in truth, the class of the travelling side shone through, and Solskjaer could do very little about it.
Here are our four findings from Tuesday’s Champions League tie at Old Trafford.
