ICYMI - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says his “confident” side could stage a Champions League fightback at Paris Saint-Germain this week after a dramatic 3-2 victory over Southampton on Saturday.
Manchester United’s Norwegian caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer applauds supporters on the pitch after the English Premier League football match between Manchester United and Southampton at Old Trafford in Manchester, north west England, on March 2, 2019. – Manchester United won the game 3-2.
Solskjaer’s side will be aiming to overturn a 2-0 deficit in the Champions League last 16, second leg at PSG on Wednesday.“We’re playing against one of the best teams in Europe with some absolute quality players but who knows? This has happened before, so many great comebacks. “It was like the old days,” beamed Solskjaer, whose side now lead Arsenal by one point in the race for Champions League qualification, with Chelsea four points further back with two games in hand.
United appeared to be heading towards a disappointing home draw in the closing moments, when substitute Fred exchanged passes with Luke Shaw and found the in-form Lukaku on the edge of the area.Solskjaer could even enjoy the luxury of a missed injury-time penalty when Paul Pogba’s effort was well saved by Angus Gunn following Stuart Armstrong’s trip on Marcus Rashford.
After a lacklustre first-half display, United were now in an irrepressible mood and took the lead just six minutes later through Lukaku.
