    FT: Manchester United 0-2 PSG - A fairly even first half gave way to a very one-sided second. Crucial away goals from Kimpembe and Mbappe put the visitors in control, before a bad evening got worse for United when Pogba saw red in the 89th minute. He will be suspended for the second leg in Paris.
  • 93'
    PSG knocking the ball around for fun now, every completed pass drawing huge cheers from the away fans.

    Luke Shaw is the latest to go into the book.
  • 89'
    Just to top off United's miserable day, their talisman Paul Pogba is sent off for a second yellow. He and Dani Alves went for a loose ball with Pogba arriving a fraction late but barely touching the Brazilian. A very debatable decision from the referee.

  • 56'
    Dani Alves goes for goal with an audacious long-range volley. It's deflected and flies inches wide. Worrying times for the Red Devils.

    Chance of the match! Draxler slips the ball through to Mbappe, who finds himself with only David de Gea to beat. Incredibly, the youngster can only fire wide.

    And the first chance of the game goes to PSG! Angel Di Maria, whose every touch had been booed so far, lets fly from the edge of the box, and his shot curls just wide. A warning sign for United...

    PSG with a fairly high press too. Neither team being given much time on the ball.

    United pressing PSG immediately, fuelled by the Old Trafford crowd. The pitch still appears slightly smokey due to a number of red flares that have been let off.

    The teams are out, the atmosphere is incredible. Kick-off is imminent!
  • PRVW
    Warm-ups done, the players are now making their way to their respective changing rooms. Kick-off is fast approaching...
  • PRVW
    Another intriguing sub-plot is the battle between Marcus Rashford and Kylian Mbappe. The two wonderkids are seemingly constantly compared to one another - who will come out on top tonight?
  • PRVW
    The omens are good for United heading into this one. PSG have only won once on English soil in their history, while United have never lost at home to French opposition. But that's all history, and right now many have the French giants as favourites for this one.
  • PRVW
    Old Trafford is looking its spectacular best ahead of today's game. Can the team put in a performance to match?
  • PRVW
    And a strange looking PSG team. With Neymar and Edinson Cavani both absent, Dani Alves is deployed as part of the French side's front three. Marquinhos, usually a defender, slots in as a central midfielder, while the legendary Gianluigi Buffon is preferred to Alphonse Areola between the sticks.
  • PRVW
    So Marcus Rashford is preferred to Romelu Lukaku up front for the Reds, while Alexis Sanchez is again left out, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer preferring to opt for the in-form Anthony Martial. Both Phil Jones and Chris Smalling, starters last weekend against Fulham, are out of the starting XI. In their place come Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof.
  • PRVW
    And tonight's visitors, PSG: Buffon; Kehrer, Thiago Silva, Kimpembe, Bernat; Verratti, Marquinhos, Draxler, Alves, Di María, Mbappé.
  • PRVW
    Time for some team news, starting with our hosts, Manchester United: De Gea; Young, Bailly, Lindelöf, Shaw; Matic, Pogba, Ander Herrera; Martial, Lingard, Rashford.
