10 first team players missing through injuries or suspension with a 2-0 deficit and playing PSG away. Nobody gave Manchester United a chance.
Even Sportpesa gave PSG an odd of 1.46 to win the match. Manchester United fans were speaking in low tones, even Rio Ferdinand admitted that he didn’t expect a Man United win.
But this is Manchester United, and if any team was going to pull a surprise, then they have the pedigree, and everyone held their breath when Marcus Rashford stepped out to take that decisive penalty.
And the Mancunian gave Buffon no chance. You see Buffon is 41 years, he made his Champions League Debut a month before Rashford was born.
Manchester United fans broke into song and dance immediately Rashford wielded away to celebrate his goal.
Nairobi was awakened in the middle of the night with fans singing Oleee! Olee! Olee!
And the video captured the attention of United Fan’s Twitter handle which shows fans dancing in Juja.
One fan noted that the pain of that win was not even felt by PSG fans but by Arsenal and Chelsea fans who had spend the whole week to prepare hilarious trolls and memes.
Jeff Koinange even asked Manchester United fans to have two bottles of beer kwa bill yake.
And Willis Raburu had no words to say except praise Lukaku, the man who was branded as Omushambulizi because of his poor first touch. Lukaku has now scored braces in three consecutive matches.
And you know you are doing the right thing when your enemies like Carol Radull can’t stop praising you:
So what happened to Lukaku? Did Pastor Lukau of South Africa work his magic? Ole Gunnar Solskajaer is suddenly capable of doing anything.
Ole Gunnar has won 9 consecutive away matches. He is now in the top 4, something that Mourinho said would be a miracle to achieve. He is in the CL and FA Cup Quarter Finals.
Some Manchester United fans have suggested for the club to look for Mourinho and sack him again.
Of course PSG star Neymar has not accepted the results. And some united fans have wondered why a player who has won so many penalties through dubious means argue against the VAR?
It is not everyday that you see Sir Alex Ferguson smiling. The old man was almost killed by Mourinho’s poor tactics. Mourinho was trying to turn this team into a joke.
Surely Manchester United is the biggest club in the world. You can’t just rule them off. And Solskajaer, the man who came from the bench to score that winner against Bayern in 1999 is at the wheel again.
Now do you remember Di Maria turning Old Trafford into a drinking den? The man has no respect for a club that made him the most expensive player and gave him the iconic no.7 shirt.
And the players who were not in France were supporting the team through and through. Just look at Anthony Martial:
But the best celebration is reserved for the ever amazing Jesse Lingard:
According to Ole Gunnar, he had told the boys to enjoy the match. But how do you do that with a bunch of teenagers? 17 year old is due in school on Friday.
So how did Manchester United Fans step into the office today?
And how are Arsenal fans feeling now that they are the next victim of the Ole Gunnar army?
Jesse Lingard turned the Emirates into a dance floor the last time we were in the capital. I don’t know what he has in mind this time round.
There is a boy named Diogo Dalot. You can speak a few words of blessings to this young man:
And finally, whom will you want us to face in the Quarter Finals? Man City, Ajax, Liverpool or even Tottenham?
