Score Prediction
Man Utd 2 PSG 1
Neither side can boast an extraordinary defence, so the game will be won further up the field.
If Verratti is out for PSG, then United will expect to dominate the midfield and stamp their mark from there.
PSG conceded nine goals and scored 17 in six Group C games, while United scored just seven. The Red Devils only conceded four - only better by Dortmund's two in the group stages - but have switched from Mourinho to Solskjaer since then, so expect a more expansive game from United - even if it is a first leg.
