United went through on away goals after the last 16 tie finished 3-3 on aggregate with Rashford scoring after a VAR decision spotted a PSG handball.
PARIS: Marcus Rashford scored a stoppage-time penalty awarded after a VAR review to give Manchester United a stunning 3-1 win away to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday as they improbably went through to the Champions League quarter-finals on away goals.
Slovenian referee Damir Skomina awarded a spot-kick after reviewing the images when he had been alerted of a possible handball by PSG defender Presnel Kimpembe in the box. Their improbable victory - following Ajax's similarly stunning turnaround against holders Real Madrid 24 hours earlier - takes them through to the last eight for the first time since 2014.Their remarkable revival under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer continues, with the Norwegian now having overseen nine consecutive away wins, a club record.
Despite that, they pulled off one of their greatest European results, up there with their 3-2 win at Juventus in the 1999 semi-finals, which came after they fell two goals behind early on.Solskjaer was on the bench that night, and the Norwegian watched from the sideline here - curiously looking like a substitute with a bib on over his jacket apparently due to a colour clash with PSG's kit - as his side somehow went in front inside two minutes.
