Manchester United will be up against PSG in the round-of-16 of the Champions League. After a disappointing start to the season, the Old Trafford outfit is cruising under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

With a star-studded forward line-up of Neymar, Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe, the Paris side is expected to create trouble for Manchester United’s defence, who has bee shaky ever since the beginning of the season.

Meanwhile, Neymar has made a massive claim over the clash against Manchester United ahead of the game.

Neymar (on a possible return to Spain): “Ever since I became a professional footballer, there has always been speculation that I would quit other clubs. But there is nothing concrete. As soon as there is something definitive, be reassured, I will tell everyone.” [canal+] pic.twitter.com/n6vO1egh49

The forward stated that the team is confident of defeating Manchester United but acknowledged that they are a ‘great’ side.

“We realise it is difficult, but our team can do it. We have high-quality players, we can aim high. We are on the right path.

“We have a great match coming up [against Manchester United]. It will be a great match for football lovers, and we are happy to face great teams.”

The game against Manchester United will also see Angel Di Maria facing his former club. The Argentine attacker joined Old Trafford in the-then club’s record transfer but left United merely a year later after tensions with manager Louis van Gaal.

He also spoke about his time at Manchester United earlier this month.

“I only stayed for one year. It was not the best time of my career, or rather I was not allowed to spend my best time there,” Di Maria told France Bleu.
