United then lost 2-0 to the Ligue 1 champions, with damage by Presnel Kimpembe and Kylian Mbappé in the second half.

1/23 Player ranking Manchester United vs PSG
Our football correspondent, Mark Critchley, leads both teams.

2/23 David de Gea – 8 out of 10
United's outstanding artist, as usual. He perfectly managed to deny Mbappé, who had already frustrated the leader of the PSG in the first period.
Getty Images
3/23 Ashley Young – 5
Ready to rise to the challenge, as showed the solid challenge on Di Maria, but dangerously out of reach.
EPA
4/23 Eric Bailly – 5
Favorite on Jones because of his speed, but this extra length counted for few times once Mbappe put the parts on hold.
REUTERS
5/23 Victor Lindelof – 5
A performance to forget for the Swede, who has improved a lot, which has had little response to the movement of Mbappé, Di Maria and Draxler.
REUTERS
6/23 Luke Shaw – 6
Unable to support the attack as much as he would have liked, Dani Alves was aging largely under control.
Getty Images
7/23 Nemanja Matic – 5
Started well, intercepting the game at key moments, but lost Kimpembe in the expensive corner. He and United have never recovered.
Getty Images
8/23 Paul Pogba – 6
Marquinhos scored closely but sometimes managed to break free. A late red card prevents him from returning to Paris.
Getty Images
9/23 Ander Herrera – 5
Another who started his defense well but, like many teammates, tired and exhausted as PSG began to take control.
AP
10/23 Jesse Lingard – 7
United's brightest field player in the first period, until his evening was shortened by an apparent injury to the hamstring.
EPA
11/23 Marcus Rashford – 5
Failing to bring its national form into the European competition and, apart from a few moments of good networking, led the line ineffectively.
Getty Images
12/23 Anthony Martial – 5
A moderate presence on the left flank until, like Lingard, his evening was cut short by an injury.
Getty Images
13/23 Gianluigi Buffon – 6
The greatest goalkeeper of his generation spent the evening undisturbed.
REUTERS
14/23 Thilo Kehrer – 7
Chosen by some as a weak link potential but monitoring both Martial and Sanchez, limiting their impact.
REUTERS
15/23 Thiago Silva – 8
A reminder of his former dominant self. Close the few attacks United have managed to overcome the equally impressive environment of the PSG.
Action Images via Reuters
16/23 Presnel Kimpembe – 7
Having booked early to ride Rashford, he walked the tightrope and had several difficult moments, but he was largely outweighed by the goal.
Action Images via Reuters
17/23 Dani Alves – 7
It's not his old marauder's self, but it's understandable at 35 years old.
Pennsylvania
18/23 Marquinhos – 8
Sitting on Pogba when United was in possession of the ball and dominated the midfield match, strangling Solskjaer's attempts to invite visitors.
REUTERS
19/23 Marco Verratti – 7
Started despite the concerns raised by an ankle injury and has behaved well under the circumstances.
EPA
20/23 Juan Bernat – 6
The tackle on Young won a yellow. Appeared vulnerable to Lingard until his opponent was forced to leave.
Icon Sport via Getty Images
21/23 Julian Draxler – 8
Well connected to Di Maria and Mbappe who play against him, although he played no role in both goals.
Getty
22/23 Angel Di Maria – 8
Booed from his first contact and angered the nerves of the first difficult period but responded brilliantly after the break, allowing the Parisians to win the victory.
Getty Images
23/23 Kylian Mbappe – 8
We had a quiet start, then suddenly hit gas, crossing United's defense and scoring a deserved goal in the second half.

However, United could not discuss the seriousness of his problems or set a deadline for his return.
The United Kingdom will travel to Chelsea on Monday night before Liverpool for a fifth round FA Cup match, before Liverpool's visit to Old Trafford in the Premier League on the following Sunday.
"You do not know," said Solskjaer, when asked for a prognosis on Lingard and Martial. "Muscle injuries, hamstrings and groin. We will need a few days to evaluate them.
Lingard was replaced by Alexis Sanchez before half-time, while Martial was replaced by Juan Mata during the break.
Once the PSG left, Solskjaer acknowledged that losing Lingard and Martial was a blow.
"It's the reality," he said. "Jesse and Anthony are important members of our team. They played very well.
"In the second half, we did not have as much movement and pace to get out of the way … Juan took the ball for us and created a few pieces, we need to find a different way to play when Anthony and Jesse are out. "
