Three Fullbacks Against PSG? Man United Must Be Crazy!!

As we go about our workday, we all know the big question lingering at the back of our minds:

Can Man United produce a stunning comeback in Paris tonight to knockout PSG in the Champions League?

That depends; have you discovered the designs to build a time machine?

There’s no denying it; Man United have a mountain to climb in the French capital after PSG won 2-0 at Old Trafford two weeks ago.

Which really put to test the derogatory statement of ‘Farmer’s League’ usually tossed around among Premier League fans.

That defeat to PSG is the only time Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has lost since replacing Jose Mourinho.

Missing 10 Key Players

Domestically, Man United have 10 wins and two draws under Ole.

Hence the chant, Ole Behind the wheel!

Nevertheless, Man United have significant selection problems before the PSG game as up to 10 first team stars are out of action.

Paul Pogba is certain to miss the PSG match after he was sent off at Old Trafford a fortnight ago.

Alexis Sanchez (knee), Juan Mata (thigh), Nemanja Matic, Ander Herrera (thigh), Anthony Martial (groin) and Jesse Lingard (thigh) are all on the sidelines.

At the back, Phil Jones and Antonio Valencia are currently out of action. Matteo Darmian is a doubt.

A 3-Man Defence? 

So how will Man United line-up in the Parc de Princes?

According to predictions by fans on Wednesday, Man United might resort to a back-three.

Ashley Young and Luke Shaw will occupy the usual full-back slots, while Diogo Dalot is tipped to start the match in midfield.

Last weekend, in Man United’s 3-2 win over Southampton, Dalot replaced Alexis Sanchez i an attacking role. It appears Dalot will get another opportunity to shine further up the field.

Elsewhere, Marcus Rashford and Romelu Lukaku may start up-front together as United role out a 4-3-1-2 formation.

Youngster Andreas Pereira and Scott McTominay are also set to start in Paris.
