Twitter is the least place you want to get into a heated argument especially if you’re a celebrity.

Indeed, Cesc Fabregas has defended Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after former Arsenal forward Julio Baptista criticised Manchester United’s tactics in their Champions League victory over Paris Saint-Germain.

United completed a remarkable turnaround in Paris by sealing a 3-1 victory to reach the Champions League quarter-finals.

Solskjaer’s side were forced to defend for the majority of the game but Romelu Lukaku capitalised on two defensive errors to keep United in the tie before Marcus Rashford’s penalty in extra time completed the upset.

Baptista, however, was unhappy with United’s approach to the game and claims Solskjaer’s side will not win the competition if they adopt similar tactics in the next round

‘Manchester United have got to the next round without merit, they just played and defended the whole game, counting on luck to beat PSG,’ the Brazilian posted on Twitter.

‘As good as they are, Manchester United cannot afford play like that if they want to win the Champions League.’

But Fabregas hit back at his former Arsenal teammate by defending Solskjaer’s approach and pointing out that United were hampered by several injuries, as well as Paul Pogba’s suspension.

‘Each team plays to their strengths and United had at least eight of their top players out,’ Fabregas said.

‘They had to bring on their academy players in the last 20 minutes because they did not have anything else.

‘Have they been lucky? Yes. But they deserve respect for fighting and believing until the end.

‘I am a defender of good football but you always have to adapt to what you have.’
