Matchday five in the UEFA Champions League sees Manchester United welcome last season’s finalists Paris St Germain to Old Trafford in what is expected to be a tightly contested fixture in Group H.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side lead the group on 9 points after four games, a three-point advantage over PSG and German outfit RB Leipzig.
Solskjaer will be looking for a similar performance exhibited by his team at Southampton in the weekend, a classic comeback inspired by super-sub Edinson Cavani.
David De Gea is expected to be fit, having suffered a slight injury during the 3-2 win at Southampton. Luke Shaw has returned to training but isn’t available yet – Alex Telles to get the nod.
