Late winner earns United three points in Champions League opener

PSG RATINGS: Keylor Navas - 8: Produced brilliant penalty save from Fernandes, only to see it retaken after Costa Rican took huge step off his line before the kick. Sent wrong way by Fernandes second time round. Turned another Fernandes shot round post before break. Two good stops from Rashford in second half. AFP

Alessandro Florenzi - 7: Italian full-back, on loan from Roma, made a number of surging runs forward. Good cross to set up Kean chance with quarter of an hour left. AFP

Presnel Kimpembe - 6: Captain on the night was rarely troubled in first half but found Rashford’s pace a problem after break and it was no surprise when the United attacker rolled round him to score the winner. Reuters

Abdou Diallo - 5: Got away with one in first 10 minutes when he swung and missed a cross into the middle but the ball hit his standing leg and dropped straight to Navas. Gave away penalty for stupid foul on Martial. Vital tackle just before break stopped Rashford getting in on goal. EPA

Layvin Kurzawa - 7: Sliding first-time finish in six-yard box saved by De Gea from point-blank range in opening quarter of an hour. Was a handful with his attacking runs down left. AFP

Danilo - 6: Portuguese midfielder, on loan from Porto and making his PSG debut, produced one perfectly timed challenge to deny Rashford just after break. Booked for hauling back Fred late on. Reuters

Idrissa Gueye - 5: Senegalese was part of a defensive midfield trio in first half that failed to offer PSG any attacking drive. Had so little influence there were no live pics of him on the night. Hooked at half time. AFP

Ander Herrera - 7: Solid show from the former United midfielder who tackled well and kept things simple with the ball. EPA

Angel Di Maria - 6: Another ex-United man, the Argentine’s curling left-foot shot forced the first save of match out of De Gea but offered little attacking threat against his old club. Reuters

Neymar - 7: Kept well shackled by United, forced drop deeper and deeper to get possession and was booked for dissent in first half as his frustrations grew. Brazilian’s corner turned into own net by Martial. Saw best chance saved by De Gea and then curled another over bar, both in last 10 minutes. Reuters

Kylian Mbappe - 7: Figured even less than Neymar in opening period when a half-hearted penalty appeal was his sole contribution. Sprang into life after break with wonderful run and shot that forced brilliant save from De Gea, then saw cut back hit cross bar a few minutes later. AFP

SUBS: Moise Kean – (On for Gueye 46’) 6: Loan signing from Everton, making his debut, brought on to offer PSG more of an attacking threat. Felt he should have had a penalty after challenge in box but referee and VAR didn’t agree. Headed harmlessly wide when well placed with 15 minutes left. EPA

MANCHESTER UNITED RATINGS: David de Gea - 9: He’s finding top form again and it started with a good early save from Di Maria. Used his area well, was quick off his line and saved from Kurzawa. The best was from Mbappe. Vocal throughout. Reuters

Axel Tuanzebe - 9: Injury meant he hadn't played since the Carabao cup game against Colchester last December, yet stood firm against some of the best players on the planet. Watching him beat and dispossess Mbappe was a joy. . AFP

Victor Lindelof - 8: Rightly criticised for poor form at the start of the season, but another good game for the Swede. Assured. Excellent. “Tremendous,” in the words of his manager. EPA

Luke Shaw - 8: Another impressive game – some of his best have been in a defensive three. He has competition for his place from Telles. . Reuters

Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 9: A lot of PSG’s attacks came down the left, but Wan Bissaka was on to them. Stood up to Mbappe and made some incredible runs, tackles and blocks. AFP

Scott McTominay - 7: Unsettled Neymar and Mbappe – though naturally had some difficulties. Stood tall under late PSG pressure. Lost contact lens in first half as played with one eye according to his manager. AFP

Fred - 7: Fine against PSG last time, fine against the Parisians this time. Neat, looks forward, brings balance. In form. Reuters

Alex Telles - 7: Rusty start but quickly settled. Hit effective corners and crosses. Encouraging performance. Reuters

Bruno Fernandes - 8: Promoted to captain. Needs to sort his penalties, but had a second chance. Some lovely balls and he had chances to score from open play. Helped those around him and drove team forward. EPA

Marcus Rashford - 9: Dangerous when getting ball on half turn, less so with back to goal. Made wrong choice when he overhit a ball for Martial at start of second half when 2 vs 1. Remained lively and got the winner – again – against PSG away. Great turn and fine finish for goal. Reuters

Anthony Martial - 7: Own goal and very poor defending for that one. Played as a split striker. Not always close to Rashford, but worked hard for 90 minutes. EPA

SUBS: Paul Pogba - (On for Telles 67') 7: On for Telles after 66. Brought energy and different ideas but tried to do too much when there were easier passes on. Fed ball to Rashford which led to winner. Did well. Donny van de Beek - (On for Fernandes 88') N/A. Daniel James - (On for Martial 88') N/A. Reuters

Marcus Rashford produced another late strike to sink Paris Saint-Germain as Manchester United beat last season's runners-up 2-1 in their Champions League Group H opener.

The England striker, whose last-gasp penalty gave United a stunning victory over PSG in the last 16 in 2019, smashed home low in the 87th minute as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side claimed a well-deserved three points.

United had taken a first-half lead behind closed doors in Paris courtesy of a retaken Bruno Fernandes penalty after United's captain for the night had initially missed.

But it looked as though PSG would escape with a draw despite a poor performance after France striker Anthony Martial headed a Neymar corner into his own net 10 minutes after the restart. But Rashford had other ideas.

It is another fine result for Solskjaer, who was handed the United manager's job on a permanent basis on the back of that victory in March 2019 and has now seen his side bounce back in style from an embarrassing 6-1 home loss to Tottenham Hotspur.

Despite hailing the performance of his side, Solskjaer admitted it was not the same feeling as the dramatic win the last time they visited Paris.

"It is a different feel of course, this is the start of the group stages," he told BT Sport.

"We win against a fantastic team, last time was knockout and the euphoria was different this time there are no fans, it is sterile and no-one to celebrate with.

"We know that when you go away against a team like this against players like Neymar and Mbappe, we know we have to defend well.

"We know that to get through you probably need 10 points, next week's game against Leipzig will be very, very important for us."
