i dont support united but i am pleased for this young manager and i like the style of football his team play. Solskjaer seems to have got United firing on all cylinders after brushing Chelsea aside in the FA cup and now an amazing comeback to beat Paris St Germain . if he does not get the job permanently then there is no justice

Tonight was extraordinary - away from home, 0-2 down, 10 players absent and bringing on 2 unknown academy graduates (one their youngest ever player in Europe) with 3 others on the bench. Reads like fiction. Astonishing.

Astonishing. managed to catch the penalty at the end, I suppose if it hits your arm when otherwise the ball could go in it has to be handball, good job pogbo wasn't there to miss it

Not a united fan at all but that was great. Obviously a questionable VAR decision for the pen, poor defending for the first and a keeper error for the second but who cares. Just great to see a young manager give it a go, take some risks with home grown players and overcome a team who looked ready to cruise into the second round.
Also huge credit to Rashford - first pen he’d ever taken in the United first team, that some nerve!
A couple of great nights in European football, especially for the neutral.

Didn't realise United had won until I saw people raving about it on Facebook, I still presumed they were dead and buried after the first leg.

THe best move united made was getting Mike Phelan back. Worse thing Moyes ever did was getting rid of him.
Rumour has it that Sir Alex is pulling a few strings behind the scenes to help out. Doesn’t matter who is called manager when you’ve got back up like that.

I think the most puzzling thing for me was how PSG went about the game, they played like a side that were 2-0 down from the first leg rather than 2-0 up. Maybe that's the only way they know how to play but I think they shot themselves in the foot there, big time...
Well after a bit of a lull we're already set with two English clubs in the quarters. Could be four. Should be at least three. I happen to think Schalke are possibly the most boring club going here in Germany, just something about them. I reckon Manchester City should finish the job. Liverpool versus Bayern should be an absolute cracker...

When Man United are at the top of their game it makes football much more interesting!! Long may it continue. Give Ole the job now!!

I love that it upset Neymar so much. Never tire of seeing an over-indulged rich boy to whom everybody has to say “yes” having a toddler tantrum.

Solskjaer is doing amazingly well and last night was a hell of a win, but the turn around and once again 'down tools' attitude by so called professionals to get rid of a manager like Mourinho is a disgrace. Quite obviously United players earlier on this season did not do enough especially compared to now. Chelsea did it a few years back and I somehow think the same thing maybe happening with Real Madrid.

Given his trials and tribulations at Cardiff it goes to show how important working environment is. As we will all know from our own experience.
Is that shirt pale pink or pale yellow?

"Go **** yourselves" - such dignity and grace, a true sportsman. Give me Mbappe every time. He has some class.

A glorious few days of karma with the cheating scumbags Ramos, Marcelo, Neymar and Alves all receiving some footballing justice.

Obviously a questionable VAR decision for the pen It's worrying that VAR should award a penalty for that, similarly with the one awarded against Man City in the Champions League the week before. It's the sort of mistake you would accept officials would occasionally make when they only get the chance to see it in real time but to award penalties for handball on those two occasions was very poor.

It's the sort of mistake you would accept officials would occasionally make when they only get the chance to see it in real time but to award penalties for handball on those two occasions was very poor. It’s not just VAR though. The handball rule along with a couple of others is being tightened up on June 1st and it’s clear referees already have this in mind. The concept of deliberate handball is being removed and basically if your arm is in an unnatural position (based on where it would be in a normal silhouette) and is making your body bigger and blocks the ball then an offence will have been committed. On that basis it was a penalty although as the shot appeared to be heading off target Tuchel made a fair point as PSG didn’t gain an advantage. Unsurprisingly Neymar wasn’t able to make the point quite so eloquently. Given it went against him and Alves I feel on balance it was a stonewaller and the referee should be granted the freedom of Ljubljana.

No point giving him the job until the end - the side are still on honeymoon period. Ole has done some amazing things but when normality resumes I’d be interested to see how it goes and a lot depends on Phelan too. United were quite lucky in the end with the decision but you can’t fault their bravery and Paris are without their three superstars. United don’t have any world class players except Pogba and that shows that football is about your XI not just a couple of superstars although they do help.
Poch would still be a better choice and he’d definitely be willing but I can’t see anyone other than Ole getting it. Poch much more longevity - when post Mourinho bounce has ended this will unravel and I can’t wait because United doing badly is almost as funny as PSG bottling it every time.

I suppose united were lucky really, I mean had Kimpembe been rightly sent off at old Trafford before he scored he wouldn't have been on the pitch to block the shot with his hand ;-) who were the 3 superstars Paris were missing ? united only had 10 players out but at least De Gea and Rashford played, even if they are not world class ;-)
