Manchester United have to get the right manager says Andy Gray
Manchester United saw their dream start to life under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ended by a ruthless PSG team at Old Trafford.
The Ligue 1 giants went into the match as underdogs due to injuries to Neymar and Edinson Cavani. Thomas Meunier was another key player sidelined.
But Manchester United were put to the sword by PSG, who won the game courtesy of goals from Presnel Kimpembe and Kylian Mbappe. The latter could have had another, too, had he not been thwarted by David De Gea.
After the match, many United players cut dejected figures in the mixed zone.
Ander Herrera gave a short but defiant interview to MUTV but his team-mates snubbed the media entirely.
De Gea came out of the United dressing room looking sullen and dejected. Another trophy now looks set to avoid a player who many regard as the best goalkeeper in world football.
Victor Lindelof had his hood up and walked briskly.
Marcus Rashford chose to hide behind a snood, with the disappointment in the 21-year-old's eyes plain for all to see.
Lukaku, however, appeared relatively upbeat.
He strutted past the media with his headphones on and engrossed in his phone. He was also seen smiling - the only United player to do so.

Lukaku was snubbed by Solskjaer for the contest.
And he only appeared with six minutes to go, when PSG were well on their way to a crucial Champions League victory.
Solskjaer preferred Alexis Sanchez when Jesse Lingard limped off at the end of the first half.
And Juan Mata was chosen over Lukaku when Anthony Martial was also forced to withdraw.
Meanwhile, Jamie Redknapp believes Lukaku is the only United player who has NOT improved during Solskjaer's reign.
The Sky Sports pundit said: “One player that perhaps hasn’t had that little bit of luck is Romelu Lukaku,” Redknapp said.
