Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, Manchester United has struggled with transfers, form, and managers but one thing that's constant is their goalkeeper, David De Gea.

The three-time Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year winner got criticized for his performances at the World Cup and during the start of the current campaign. However, he has regained back his previous form in the last few games with the most notable match-winning performance coming against Spurs in the Premier League.

David is United's last man defense, and with the attack, PSG got up their ranks, he needs to have a good day at the office to ensure a positive result at Old Trafford.


#1 Paul Pogba

Pogba has been United's best player since Ole's arrival.

The only player who has been most affected by the arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the France International, Paul Pogba. He was on the cusp of leaving United after falling out of favor under Jose Mourinho but Solskjaer has freed him off the shackles and Pogba is looking like the player he was at Juventus.

United's eleven games unbeaten streak is mostly down to Pogba's assists and goals. He has been the creative soul of the side with Herrera and Matic given the defensive responsibilities.

Paul would be heading into the PSG game with a bundle of confidence after scoring a brace against Fulham in the weekend and Solskjaer would hope that his talismanic midfielder could put a show once again for the Red Devils.
