Manchester United fans question Ole Gunnar Solskjaer team decision vs Barcelona

Manchester United fans were questioning Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team selection against Barcelona, with Phil Jones seemingly picked at right-back over Diogo Dalot.

United travelled to the Nou Camp looking to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg, but were without the suspended Luke Shaw.

That meant Solskjaer had to make a decision at full-back, and named a puzzling team selection on the night that appeared to show Jones as the designated right back.

A back three of Jones, Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof is another possibility, but there is no obvious wing-back to operate on the opposite side to Ashley Young in a 3-5-2 formation.

And United fans believed Dalot should have been given the nod at right-back due to his flexibility in defence or on the wing.

Dalot started on the right-wing in the second leg at PSG in the previous round, winning the last minute penalty that Marcus Rashford scored.

Absolute joke

Worried

Baffling

Nice while it lasted

Clear choice

So many questions

Absolutely criminal
