Manchester United will host Paris St Germain on Tuesday in the first leg of the Champions League.

The match was the first test of Norwegian coach Ole Solshire, who succeeded Jose Mourinho, who was sacked in December.

United has not been defeated since taking charge of the team by winning 10 games and one draw.

The crossing of the PSG will increase the chances of the Solshire coach to stay permanently at United.

The French team plays in the absence of two of the most prominent players: the Brazilian Neymar and the goal of the team of Uruguayan player Edison Cavani due to injury.

"We can not replace talented players like Neymar, who we miss a lot and now Cavani," said coach Thomas Thugel, coach of Paris St Germain, on the eve of the match.

  • Solshir supports Manchester United until the end of the season, replacing Mourinho

The German coach has denied resorting to his offensive style due to the absence of Cavani and Neymar. He said: "Why are we changing our identity? We are Paris Saint-Germain, we are used to attacking and creating opportunities."

Manchester United have qualified for the knockout stages of Group E after being second behind Juventus, while Paris Saint-Germain was third to qualify for Liverpool.
