Manchester United 0-2 PSG: 5 Talking Points from Solskjaer's first defeat as United Manager

#1 Away Leg without Pogba will be tough

Pogba received two yellows on the night

PSG showed the maturity of their older players on the night, getting United a couple of soft bookings. But perhaps the most surprising was Pogba’s second yellow card. The Frenchman and Dani Alves had both tried for a 50/50 ball and it was a clumsy coming together with the game almost over.

However, the referee deemed it too big a fault from Pogba to show him the second yellow card of the night and it is perhaps as devastating to United as the two goals conceded.

Even with Pogba on the field, United were outclassed and outplayed. The only few moments United looked to take the game to the away side was when Pogba was on the ball and in and around the box.

Without their mercurial Frenchman, the Red Devils are desperately short of creativity and midfield power in the team. The biggest problem is the absence of an able substitute in the squad.

Fred could carry out the role but is on a dreadful run of form. The same can be said of Andreas Pereira. Perhaps Mata is the only player who has the abilities to replicate some of the creative abilities of the Frenchman.

Whoever comes into the team in the away leg in place of Pogba will have big shoes to fill and the Frenchman will be a big miss in Paris.
