Manchester United vs Paris Saint-Germain is shaping up to be the pick of the last-16 ties in this season’s Champions League.The Red Devils have been in resurgent form since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took charge, winning their last eight games.
7Full Champions League last 16 draw
And for quite some time PSG have been one of Europe’s top clubs but they are desperate to take their game to the next level and win the competition.However, it looks like they’ll have to resume their quest without world-record signing Neymar, who sustained a foot injury in a Coupe de France clash last week and is unlikely to be available, according to PSG boss Thomas Tuchel.So how might the French giants line up without one of their star players? talkSPORT.com takes a look at a potential PSG XI for the first leg.
7Goalkeeper
It’s hard to predict who will get the nod between the sticks as this season has seen Gianluigi Buffon and Alphonse Areola share the duty, making 15 and 17 appearances respectively so far, with both playing three times in the Champions League.However, with what should be a raucous Old Trafford atmosphere an experienced head might be the better bet for Tuchel and Buffon comes out on top in this case.
7Defence
Neymar’s likely absence and Manchester United’s new high-pressing style of football could see the Ligue 1 giants reshuffle things at the back.They will have learned a lot from their 3-2 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield earlier this season where their defence was swamped on occasions.
7Midfield
PSG are also waiting on the fitness of midfield maestro Marco Verratti, who is currently sidelined with an ankle injury.And they will be desperate for him to be available as they really missed the Italian when they lost to Liverpool but he ran the show in the return fixture at the Parc-des-Princes, which PSG won 2-1.
7Attack
It’s usually a trio up front for PSG but it seems like they’ll have to make do with Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe.But that shouldn’t be too much of an issue as both Cavani and Mbappe, who have 20 and 22 goals respectively this season.
