The Red Devils were beaten 2-0 by Thomas Tuchel's men in the first leg of their round of 16 tie on Tuesday night.

Eric Bailly noted that the goal of Paris Saint-Germain was the cause of the defeat of Manchester United Tuesday night.

Both teams started the game very well at Old Trafford, United's only goal coming in the first 45 minutes of Marcus Rashford.

After a scoreless first half, Presnel Kimpembe converted Angel Di Maria's corner to give the visitors an advantage in the 53rd minute.

Seven minutes later, Di Maria scored Kylian Mbappe with the goal of doubling the lead and the French star made no mistake in giving David De Gea the advantage, after defeating Bailly and Lindelof brilliantly.

The Ole Gunnar Solskjaer team must now fill the Parisian deficit in a fortnight and the Ivorian star who has parade for 90 minutes has qualified the result as disappointed to see his hopes of qualifying for the quarterfinals blow tremendously.

"It's tough, it's a big disappointment, we had a good start," Bailly said after the match.

"In the first half, we were fine, we conceded a decisive goal and we stunned our morale and then conceded a second goal.

"Now we will forget this game. There are more matches to come and think about the future.

United started in the match with a flawless record of 10 wins and one draw since the appointment of his acting boss, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The 24-year-old said he was not too confident.

"No, we played on our strengths. We played the counterattack, "he added.
