We're underway at Old Trafford.
Manchester United have enjoyed a resurgence under the tenure of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer since the Norwegian replaced Jose Mourinho. The Red Devils have been scoring freely and have moved into the top four of the Premier League after dropping only two points in their last nine games. The club have also advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup, defeating Arsenal on the road in the process. United had the opportunity to avoid a top-ranked team in the round of 16, but their defeat to Valencia in their final group game knocked them behind Juventus into second place. They've earned a break playing PSG without Neymar, but they still need a strong performance this evening to have a hope of progressing.
Thomas Tuchel is under pressure to end PSG's cycle of failure in the Champions League. The club have been unable to progress beyond the round-of-16 stage for the last two seasons, losing at the hands of Barcelona and Real Madrid. Tuchel's predecessor Unai Emery paid the price for failing to reach the latter stages of the competition. Tuchel will be desperate for a positive performance in the first leg, although without Neymar and Edinson Cavani, his team are without firepower in the final third.
Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the Champions League round-of-16 clash between Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain at Old Trafford.
MANCHESTER UNITED (4-3-3): David de Gea; Ashley Young, Eric Bailly, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw; Ander Herrera, Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba; Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial.
SUBS: Phil Jones, Alexis Sanchez, Juan Mata, Romelu Lukaku, Fred, Diogo Dalot, Sergio Romero.
PSG (4-3-3): Gianluigi Buffon; Thilo Kehrer, Thiago Silva, Presnel Kimpembe, Juan Bernat; Marco Verratti, Marquinhos, Julian Draxler; Dani Alves, Kylian Mbappe, Angel di Maria.
SUBS: Leandro Paredes, Alphonse Areola, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Layvin Kurzawa, Christopher Nkunku, Moussa Diaby, Colin Dagba.
There will be a minute of applause before kick-off in memory of Emiliano Sala and Gordon Banks.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have been disappointed with his side's performance in the first half. They have been free flowing in the Premier League in his short tenure, but this evening they've been a bit tepid, which could be due to nerves. Alexis Sanchez's arrival may give the home side a touch of composure in the final third to open up the contest.
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
United are next in action in the FA Cup next Monday against Chelsea, while PSG play Saint-Etienne on the road in Ligue 1 at the weekend.
