Revealed: This is what Sir Alex Ferguson did after PSG win

Manchester United recorded a stunning victory over the Ligue 1 giants as Marcus Rashford’s last minute penalty gave them a 3–1 win at the Parc des Princes to secure their spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

There were jubilant scenes on the pitch as United celebrated overturning a 2-0 deficit from the first leg to seal their place in the next round.

And it seems the celebrations continued in the dressing room post match with United legend Ferguson paying a visit.

Solskjaer has made no secret of his admiration for his former boss but Ferguson, until now, has often observed from the stands to allow the Norwegian to make his own decisions.

But the 46-year-old admitted Ferguson couldn’t help but congratulate the players at full-time and headed to the dressing room for the first time after a match since he took charge.

“Tonight we have to remember it’s a fantastic night. It’s just the spirit of Manchester United,” he said.

“Great to see the boss in their after the game for the first time and the lads were just absolutely magnificent.”

Asked if he had spoken to Ferguson, Solskjaer replied: “You don’t make chats now, it’s too noisy but it’s great to see the boss in there.

“Got some fantastic memories.

“Football, that’s what it gives you. It’s special when you’re a coach or a manager doing it with your staff and players.

“The dressing room in there was absolutely unbelievable, just to see the club together, with the owners, ex-managers, ex-players, great atmosphere.

“Of course he’ [Ferguson]’s happy and proud, as well, this is how we do things at Man United.”

Solskjaer now remains the firm favourite to be given the job permanently following a remarkable run of results since being placed in temporary charge back in December.

Having only suffered one defeat since being appointed, Solskjaer will be hoping he remains unbeaten in the league when his side travel to Arsenal on Sunday.
