Many Manchester United fans have been downbeat ahead of the crucial second-leg last 16 Champions League tie against PSG. This is due to the sheer number of Red Devils players that are currently on the treatment table.

The likes of Anthony Martial, Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata and Alexis Sanchez are all injured, while the influential Paul Pogba misses out due to suspension. However, the absence of the aforementioned players has opened the doors for some youngsters to be introduced into the first team.

Youngsters like Chong, Gomes and Garner are very talented and also hungry for success, therefore, there is no better time to unleash them than against PSG. These are players who want to nail down places in the Man United first team and will give their all to achieve that.

PSG may be favourites, but United have a trump card in these youngsters who, on their day, could tend to be the turning point in this crucial Champions League fixture.
