Man Utd: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hails 'fighting spirit' in win
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has complicated our expected team news. The Red Devils manager has given very little away ahead of his side’s Champions League clash with PSG. So we’ll now take a look at his expected line up as United look to secure their place in the knockout stages of the competition.

Defenders: Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, McTominay, Williams
Here’s where things get really tricky. With Solskjaer not letting much slip, we still don’t know whether Alex Telles and Eric Bailly are at his disposal.
Luke Shaw is injured, while Axel Tuanzebe is suspended after picking up a yellow card in the 4-1 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir last week.
So we’re gambling with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Brandon Williams as wing-backs.
United are likely, almost certain, to field Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof together at the back.
But with Eric Bailly injured, the Red Devils could throw Scott McTominay into the mix if fit. The Scotland international is liked by Solskjaer for the big games, so it’s not entirely out of the squad.
Even if Anthony Martial is passed fit, we think Solskjaer will start with Edinson Cavani.
After all, having scored twice in the 3-2 win over Southampton, how could he not?
The Uruguay international is determined to haunt PSG having been left disappointed by the manner of his departure from the Ligue 1 giants back in the summer.
And alongside him, Marcus Rashford should get the nod.
The England international has rocked PSG twice in the past 18 months and he’d love to do so again at Old Trafford.
