Romelu Lukaku needs to 'go back to basics' says Andy Cole
Manchester United entered tonight's Champions League match against PSG with some daring to dub them favourites, despite them being stuck in a rut under Jose Mourinho just six weeks ago.
But Old Trafford bore witness to a sensational display from the visitors as they dealt a huge blow to United's hopes of European glory.
PSG were, simply put, ruthless. They deserved their win, due to the slick style they chose to deploy - even in the absence of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
United were drab and dreary. Obviously, injuries did not help.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer recalls being 'angry' at Alex Ferguson

Not for a lack of effort or style. The United star has been a good servant ever since his arrival from Chelsea in January 2014.
But he lacks the legs. Legs in a team that relies on pace.
Solskjaer now faces a huge test ahead of the return leg. Without Lingard and Martial, it was startling how static they looked.
Not even £75million misfit Romelu Lukaku could make it off the bench until the 84th minute. Another attacker perhaps not suited to this team.
But the silver lining is that Solskjaer will know this. The 45-year-old is shrewd and analytical. Nobody can now hide.
