Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was able to rest a number of key players like Victor Lindelof, Jesse Lingard, Marcus Rashford and Ashley Young in the game against Fulham. Those that played, put in a real show with the likes of Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial excelling. United will play their first choice starting eleven which means Juan Mata, Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez start the game on the bench. The trio though has a lot of experience and their services will come in handy if things are not going to plan. Antonio Valencia and Matteo Darmian are the two players missing for the Red Devils although it is highly unlikely they would have made the cut even if they were fit. Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly should be the centre back pairing for United although Chris Smalling’s calmness makes a case for him.

Parsi Saint Germain have been hit by injuries to key players like Edinson Cavani and Neymar who will play no part in the first leg. Thomas Tuchel though has a lot of experience in the squad with Dani Alves, Gianluigi Buffon and Thiago Silva who have played games of such magnitude for a number of years now. Angel Di Maria returns to his former club Manchester United where it went horribly wrong for him. He will be subject to a lot of boos from the home fans who obviously didn't like the way he left heir club. Kylian Mbappe and Eric Choupo Moting offer plenty going forward with Marquinhos playing the sweeper role. Marco Verratti is fighting fit to make the matchday squad in what could be a huge boost for the visitors. Despite the injuries, PSG remains a very strong team and the home side need to have a really good game to prevail over them. 2-1 scoreline favour of Manchester United looks the likely outcome of the game.
