Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hopeful David de Gea will be fit enough to face Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night despite being forced off with injury during the win at Southampton.
De Gea collided with a post as he attempted to stop James Ward-Prowse's first-half free-kick at St Mary's and he didn't return after the break, with Dean Henderson coming on for his Premier League debut for the club.
But De Gea was fit enough to take his seat in the stands for the second half and he witnessed a fine United comeback. Jan Bednarek and Ward-Prowse had beaten the Spaniard in the first half, but Bruno Fernandes struck in the second half before an Edinson Cavani double sealed all three points for the visitors.
The injury to De Gea was the only negative for Solskjaer, but he praised Henderson's first 45 minutes in the league for United.
"A knock just above the knee, hopefully he’ll be OK for Wednesday," Solskjaer told MUTV when asked about De Gea's fitness. "Dean came on and was very assured."

United's come-from-behind win made it eight successive Premier League away wins, the first time they've achieved such a feat, but Solskjaer instead focused on the quality of the display from his side, with United creating plenty of chances, including in a first half that didn't go to plan.
"It’s a difficult league, of course, but the no fans away from home has had an impact on that record," said Solskjaer. "We just care about the three points and the manner they came. From the first kick to the last the boys were focused and ready, we played well and created chances but we got what we deserved."
