Let's Preview: Man United vs PSG

Feb 12, 2019

PSG coach Thomas Tuchel admits his side are no longer the clear favourites, when they take on Man United in the Champions League on February 13th. 

He says the French club now have a 50-50 chance to reach the quarterfinals.

When the last-16 draw was made, PSG were widely expected to advance, becase at that time United were struggling underJose Mourinho. 

Since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced Mourinho, the Red Devils' fortunes have turned around, winning 10 of their last 11 matches.

Meannwhile PSG will go into the match with a depleted front line, with Kylian Mbappe being their only fit first-choice attacker. 

Edinson Cavani is a confirmed absentee with a hip problem, while Neymar is also on the sidelines.

The French club will also be without defender Thomas Meunier. 

United, meanwhile, have an almost-fully fit squad for the match at Old Trafford...with Antonio Valencia and Matteo Darmian the only injured players.
