Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has opened up on his team selection for Wednesday night’s Champions League clash with PSG. The Red Devils enter the game knowing a win would see them top the group. They’ve won three of their four matches in the competition so far.
Manchester United have gone strong for tonight’s match against PSG.
David De Gea starts in goal, despite the Spain international limping out of the 3-2 victory over Southampton on Sunday.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Alex Telles make up the back four with Fred, Scott McTominay and Bruno Fernandes all selected in midfield.
And, up top, United have gone with Marcus Rashford, Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial.
Now, speaking before the contest, Solskjaer has explained his team selection – telling MUTV that he’s gone with fresh legs with Donny van de Beek on the bench
He said: ”We know we’re playing against a good team.

“I just work hard every day and I know I can give the team something extra, so I just remained patient,” Van de Beek said yesterday.
“It’s fine [playing with Bruno Fernandes]. I play in a lot of positions for Ajax, eight, 10, even number six 6, so I’m used to it. I play in a lot of different positions.”
United are looking win the Champions League for the first time since 2008.
That was back when Sir Alex Ferguson ruled the Old Trafford roost, with the club beating Chelsea on penalties in the final.
United lost in 2009 and 2011 to Barcelona and are now determined to end their wait for the big silver trophy.
