A comeback that would be talked about for years to come, an effort that sent shivers down the spine of almost everyone and a win that should have earned Solskjaer one of the most prestigious jobs in England.

United were coming from a 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford in the first leg, they were without 10 men and it required a miraculous comeback for the Red Devils to go through to the round of 16. Never in 106 attempts in the competition, had a team progressed in a knockout tie after a 2-0 home defeat. But then, records are meant to be broken and as Solskjear said: 'Mountains are there to be climbed'

United were off to a perfect start with Lukaku capitalising on PSG's error to send United 1-0 up in the second minute of the match. PSG equalised quickly and looked set for more. United somehow held on, before Lukaku scored his third consecutive brace to give United a 2-1 lead in the first half.

The second half was pretty ordinary and United were staring down the barrel, before a last minute controversial VAR decision awarded United a penalty. Rashford held his nerve and fired United into the quarters from the spot.
