“We have a lot of captains on the field,” he told United’s website.
“Harry is our captain and there may be many other players I think are the captain’s team. Tomorrow I’d wear the bracelet. “
Manchester United return to the Champions League on Tuesday night when they started their European crusade with an away match against Paris Saint-Germain in the first Group H match.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be looking for another outstanding European evening in the French capital with United’s ordinary victory against PSG 19 months ago still fresh on his mind.
United knows that tonight it faces a very different one from the french champions, who finished moment at the festival last season, being tonight’s matches one of the favorites to lift the trophy this time.
As for the team’s first news, Harry Maguire, Edinson Cavani, Mason Greenwood, Eric Bailly and Jesse Lingard will miss the adjustment while Bruno Fernandes is expected to captain United for the first time. Facundo Pellistri’s signing was among the players who flew to Paris on Monday.
Stay with us for the LIVE game from the Parc des Princes.
It’s easy to be nostalgic when talking about tonight’s game, but the most important thing is to think about how far United has come in the last 19 months.
Romelu Lukaku, the hero last time, is gone. Andreas Pereira and Ashley Young, or they started in the middle of the field, they’re gone. Eric Bailly started out as a right-back and hooked after one of the worst singles performances in Champions League history, he did not travel. .
Instead, there is a fluid line of attack, one of europe’s midfielders and a right-back who may have had the lion cub in the last ten years.
After sitting down this weekend, there’s no way Alex Telles will miss tonight’s start, even if Luke Shaw hasn’t been replaced as an improvised central defender.
He has had a handful of educational sessions with his new teammates and is in the best shape after his appearance with Brazil last week. His wisdom of the national team can also be useful if he discovers Neymar on the right tonight.
The United XI predicted through L’Equipe can be classified as probable: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Tuanzebe, Shaw, Telles, McTominay, Pogba, Fernandes, Rashford, Martial.
Personally, I agree with the last six and McTominay, but I’d like Van de Beek to leave, who deserves it more than Pogba.
That said, Solskjaer relies on the French postman to shake Pogba and Martial, who have been lukewarm in their league outings so far this season. It would be difficult for Mata if a game was lost, but invariably attends “big” games. .
As far as football is concerned, the debate that enters tonight’s match is whether United will return to 3 sides, Solskjaer did so 3 times against Chelsea, twice against Liverpool and twice against City, PSG earned enough respect. to climb a 3rd center-half, regardless of the absences of Maguire and Bailly.
Remembering Axel Tuanzebe would make sense but unfair to him if he paired with Lindelof, a traveling crisis in its current form. Luke Shaw has credit for the left of the 3 sides and that would allow Alex Telles to lag behind.
United’s preparation for this has been overshadowed by the european Super League talk and the obvious activity of one of Solskjaer’s signings. You can guess who the player is and, considering some of the transgressions United players have committed over the past year, it’s time to break the criteria of “humility and respect” for possible signings.
The Champions League, born of the European Cup, is back and is a reminder of United’s history. They pioneered the festival in the last 1950s and their agreement with the festival is legendary. It is an insult to Sir Matt Busby’s reminiscence that his Bean Counters are plotting so greedily when enthusiasts even look at his team in person.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits that he may have captained several Manchester United players in the absence of Harry Maguire opposed to Paris Saint-Germain.
“We have a lot of captains on the field,” he told United’s website.
“Harry is our captain and there may be many other players who I think are the captain’s team. Tomorrow I’d wear the bracelet. “
