Manchester United Secured A Convincing 2-1 Win Over PSG At The Parc Des Princes.
The Red Devils did not falter as fans feared in the build-up to the game. While they certainly had their flaws, the team was dramatically different from the one that was doomed to collapse against the Ligue 1 giants given what Tottenham Hotspur had done before the international break.
An Anthony Martial own-goal was the only consolation that the home side had to their name as it was a Bruno Fernandes’ penalty and Marcus Rashford’s late goal that settled everything.
However, to reduce the fixture to only those three goals would be criminal.
In particular, the scoreline did not reflect the defensive brilliance that went into the game.
United’s backline did an excellent job, with the back-three, as well as the flankmen, getting actively involved.
This was especially the case when it came to curtailing Kylian Mbappe’s lethal attacking intent. Aaron Wan-Bissaka arguably did the best job at it, effectively pocketing the Frenchman.
Twitter took good notice of the same and the reactions say it all.
