A late Marcus Rashford goal sealed the win for the Red Devils as they marked their return to the tournament with a fine victory.

Eighteen months ago, Marcus Rashford netted a stoppage-time penalty to help Man United through against PSG at the Parc des Princes and the English striker was on target again to help the Red Devils clinch all three points against the Parisiens on Tuesday 20.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side were amazing in the first half as Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes netted from the spot in the 24th minute to put Man United ahead of their hosts.

However, PSG who are multiple French Champions pressed for a huge part of the second half and got an equaliser after forward Anthony Martial hit the back of his own net through a header.

The hosts had chances but United goalie David de Gea made some critical saves to deny the Parisiens topstar duo Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
