Man Utd v PSG Betting Tips: Can Ole’s men stun wounded visitors?

Solskjaer made six changes in Saturday’s 3-0 win over Fulham, but he’s likely to go with his preferred XI for his first European game in charge of the Old Trafford outfit.

That means Marcus Rashford comes back in to the side in place of Romelu Lukaku at the head of a 4-3-3. Jesse Lingard should also feature with Alexis Sanchez and Anthony Martial vying for the third forward role.

Paul Pogba will look to continue his excellent form in midfield. The Frenchman is set to be shepherded again by Nemanja Matic and Ander Herrera. At the back, Victor Lindelof and Ashley Young are set to return.

If Tuchel had a dilemma with tonight’s selection, injuries have now largely forced his hand.

With Neymar and Cavani out, Julian Draxler and former Man United winger Angel Di Maria look set to support World Cup-winning Kylian Mbappe. Ex-Stoke City striker Eric Choupo-Moting, at 6ft 2in, could lead the line as a target man.

And after playing in central midfield at the weekend, Dani Alves may be shifted to the flanks with Thomas Meunier injured. The good news for PSG is that midfield lynchpin Marco Verratti is fit to play.

Key battles

They may be missing two of the finest players, but PSG still possess great quality. Tuchel knows his side need to score tonight, so the French side are likely to fight fire with fire, with both sides boasting great pace up front.

The key is who can unlock their forwards more often, and on current form, Pogba is unstoppable.

The Frenchman has linked up with Rashford to great effect in recent weeks.  If Verratti and Marquinhos don’t close him down, Pogba can dictate the game.

But this isn’t all about United. Mbappe has the pace, power and intelligence to turn a game in an instant. Lindelof has been United’s best centre-half this season, but it’s a big ask for the Swede having missed the Fulham game with a slight injury.

What’s more, Di Maria will be out to prove a point after his dismal spell at Old Trafford in 2014.

Match odds

Such has been United’s revival under Solskjaer, they’re now 6/5 favourites to wintonight’s first leg. Tuchel’s PSG are 15/8 outsiders, with a draw available at 12/5.

Rashford has been fully unleashed since Mourinho left the club, and the hotshot forward is United’s 5/1 favourite to score first.

There’s 11/2 about Martial bagging the opener, but it’s wonderkid Mbappe who trumps them all as 3/1 favourite to break the deadlock.

Can United deny PSG that vital away goal? 13/5 says the three-time Europeanchampions keep a clean sheet tonight, with 7/2 about them winning to nil.

If they can’t, Choupo-Moting bagged twice against United and David de Gea for Stoke in 2017. He’s 12/5 anytime.
