UCL PREVIEW: MAN U FACE A GREAT TEST
J oseph Omoniyi
The UEFA Champions League returns today with some of Europe’s elite clubs in action. One of those actions involve a great test for Ole Solskjaer: In-form Manchester United will face Neymar-less PSG.
Paris Saint-Germain were expected to thrash Manchester United when the draw was made in December but so much has changed since then that United have a real chance of progressing.
United have won 10 of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first 11 matches in charge and come up against a PSG side that will be without star forwards Neymar and Edinson Cavani. The Red Devils are by no means guarenteed to win on Tuesday night but they will be disappointed if they don’t take an advantage into the second leg.
PSG only win in the Champions League away to English opposition was against Chelsea in 2016, otherwise their record is D4, L5. An away goal would leave them in a good position for the second leg.
