"We can go the whole distance. Obviously we extravagant ourselves. We need to sit tight for the draw. We had heaps of wounds and suspensions yet that was possibly something worth being thankful for here today, as we had a crisp group with bunches of vitality. We realized we needed to protect and be sufficiently modest to buckle down. Every one of the groups that are through are quality groups."

Since Solskjaer's first match in control on December 22, just Manchester City (15) have won a larger number of matches in all rivalries than United (14) among groups in the best five European leagues, with this most recent accomplishment escalating theory overseer chief Solskjaer will land the position on a full-time premise as soon as possible. Solskjaer, however, would not be drawn on such talk.

Neymar's indecent tirade

There is no punishment. How might it be a handball when it hits his back! Go **** yourselves!"

"I trust it is the correct one," Solskjaer said. "I didn't see it. I was simply helping the official to quiet my staff down, however, there is nothing we can do about it now. They state it was the correct choice."

The late VAR punishment choice was as disputable as it was definitive with Neymar taking to Instagram to express his skepticism at the granting of a spot kick. He stated: "There is no punishment. How might it be a handball when it hits his back!"

Is it safe to say that it was a punishment?

"It is a punishment and the way that the official has had the capacity to go and see it again and settle on that choice, he appears to have settled on the correct choice. I don't figure numerous individuals will contend it was anything but a pen, however, I would feel hard done by," the previous Man City safeguard revealed to The Debate.

"He [Presnel Kimpembe] has gone somewhat unnatural by the way he has turned noticeable all around to square it," was O'Shea's perspective on the occurrence.

PSG mentor Thomas Tuchel in the interim said he was as yet a promoter of VAR regardless of the late choice and was additionally left paralyzed by his group's unexpected exit guaranteeing Manchester United advanced to the following round without assaulting.

"They had three objectives without assaulting, without making an opportunity. It's hard, perhaps difficult to examine this," he said.
