Manchester United thumped Premier League strugglers Fulham 3-0 on Saturday with a goal from Anthony Martial and a brace from Paul Pogba.

Solskjær has been fortunate on the injury front with only Marcos Rojo and Antonio Valencia ruled out. The manager rested Bailly, Lindelof, Rashford and Young ahead of this game and are all set to start on Tuesday night.

Predicted Manchester United XI

Manager: Ole Gunnar Solskjær

Formation: 4-3-3

David de Gea(GK)

De Gea has been Manchester United’s number one over the best part of the last decade and that isn’t gonna change any time soon. The Spaniard will continue in goal on Tuesday.

Ashley Young(RB)

The Englishman got a breather against Fulham and should be back in the starting line-up instead of Diogo Dalot.

Eric Bailly(CB)

Bailly has reclaimed his place back in the team since the arrival of Solksjaer and has been impressive under the new boss. The Ivorian was rested against Fulham and should start against PSG.

Victor Lindelof (CB)

Lindelof has arguably been United’s best defender this season. He has done a brilliant job for the Red Devils irrespective of who is next to him. His partnership with Bailly over the last few games have been impressive. Expect the Swede to start on the left side of central defence.

Luke Shaw(LB)

The former Southampton man had a decent outing against Fulham. He will be given the tough task of defending against PSG’s star man Kylian Mbappe.

Nemanja Matic(CDM)

The Serbian is United’s rock in midfield and has been one of their best players since his arrival from Chelsea. He is expected to shield the defence on Tuesday.
