What was he doing punching it!? Of the myriad curiosities of this deeply strange game was the fact that, despite PSG’s dominance of the ball, De Gea had very few saves to make. Other than that last-minute punch, he did fine.
Eric Bailly
2Our Rating
Had a horror-show at right-back that lasted 34 minutes too long: he limped off as an early substitute for Diogo Dalot. Repeatedly shredded by Di Maria and Bernat as he kept on inexplicably trying to play as the third centre-back nobody wanted. Was caught horribly aslumber at the back post for Bernat's goal. A big error by Solskjaer to play him so badly out of position.
Ashley Young
8Our Rating
Having become muddled and ineffective amid The Bailly Debacle, he improved United as soon as he reverted to right-back. Positionally excellent, he made a vital clearance to deny Di Maria a tap-in at the 70-minute mark.

Was an outstanding last line of defence during the early stages, as PSG cut through United at will. He maintained his excellence into the second half to cap a very impressive performance.
Victor Lindelof
8Our Rating
He continues to be one of United’s best performers under Solskjaer. He made a series of critical interventions in the second-half, most notably his hooking clear a cross that was destined to give Dani Alves a one-on-one with De Gea.
Luke Shaw
8Our Rating
Another night of understated defensive excellence from Shaw, to build on his man-of-the-match display against Liverpool. The frustration for United is that they couldn’t afford to get him forward more often, and test the hopeless Timo Kehrer.
Scott McTominay
7Our Rating
His aggression and endeavour without the ball set the tone for United’s sturdy resistance.
Fred
7Our Rating
Scrapped admirably as PSG dominated possession, making a series of vital challenges, but hopes that he might provide some guile in the United perished owing to the fact they barely had the ball.
Andreas Pereira
5Our Rating
Largely anonymous for United on the left-wing, and he too failed to test the aforementioned Hapless Kehrer. Made way with ten minutes to go for Chong.
Marcus Rashford
8Our Rating
After what was quite a poor performance, to show the nerves to step up to blast that penalty - his first for United - was remarkable. Another excpetional moment in his already-remarkable United career.
Romelu Lukaku
8Our Rating
His opening two goals were the kind of poacher’s efforts his manager would have been proud of. The latest United player to benefit from Solskjaer's elevation.
Diogo Dalot
7Our Rating
Records will show that VAR awarded the last-gasp penalty, but Dalot's shot was wot won it. An impressive performance from the right wing as Solskjaer corrected his selection error.
Tahith Chong
6Our Rating
Came on for the final 10 minutes and ended up playing 20 minutes, during which he gave the ball away quite a bit..but PSG couldn't capitalise.
Mason Greenwood

Made little impact in the final few minutes, but he won't be forgetting them for some time!
