Bit of a mare for us so far. Utd potentially out of the CL to launch assault on our league position, 2 injured players for Liverpool and 2 defeats in a row would surely dent Solskjaer’s chances of becoming permanent coach

I actually want United to go through here, as OGS will definitely get the job. If they go out I don't think he will.

I'd be really surprised if his future was dependant on this match. He's worked wonders regardless of whether they go out or not and the players seem to love him. I don't think it's any coincidence that all these new contracts have been signed in the last few weeks.

The way things were going under Mourinho, United would never have been expected to beat PSG. Shows what a fantastic job Solskjaer has done that a loss will be seen as a disappointment.

I can’t help but think had we had our shooting boots on against them, their results wouldn’t look as impressive, what with a 5-1 defeat listed in there.

People are rogetting his that game played out. It’s now sort of widely accepted as a tactical masterclass as opposed to the truth, which is that game was a total smash and grab win where they rode their luck beyond belief and should have been tanked.

PSG deserves that been the much better team

If we’re being honest it’s a bit of a pathetic performance from United so far considering they play at home and PSG don’t have Cavani & Neymar. If Mourinho was the manager all United fans would’ve said that this is a poor performance
The truth is that United aren't as bad as Mourinho made them look, but not as good as Solskjaer's run of largely winnable games has made them look.

This is good. They’ll want a response and they will be up for their next league game more than any other so far this season 100%
