#2 Counter Attacking Football

Against PSG, Manchester United's departure from a pressing, counter-attacking brand of football had cost them the game. United failed to keep up the initial tempo and rarely caused PSG any problems in the final third. Solskjaer will be desperate to change this at Paris in midweek.

When United implement a fast, fluid style of play built on counter attacks, they look unstoppable. Much of the success Solskjaer has achieved in his short time at United has been because he stayed true to the style that is perhaps rooted in United's history. It is this brand of exciting football that needs to make a comeback on Wednesday.

Solskjaer could set his team up to counter-attack, and with the speed in his team right now, despite the injuries, he could still hurt PSG. He will look to close down the French Champions every time they have the ball and will instruct his players to deny them any space or time with the ball.

United have found a lot of joy away against big teams in the Premier League as well as the FA Cup ever since Solskjaer took over, by following these tactics. If the Red Devils stay true to their pressing, counter-attacking football, PSG could be in for some trouble.
