PARIS: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted recently that he wanted to"give the best job interview I could ever do" during his supposedly temporary spell as Manchester United manager.
Never before had United lost a home tie in European competition and gone on to qualify for the next round. Never before, in 106 attempts, had a team fought back from a 2-0 home defeat to progress.But Solskjaer's United, missing 10 senior players through injury and an 11th, Paul Pogba, due to suspension, rewrote the history books in Paris to book a place in the last eight.
United were 11 points adrift of the top four, with senior players, most notably Pogba, at odds with the Portuguese boss and so badly out of form that a January clearout could not be ruled out. But nobody outside of the United dressing room really believed they had a chance of overcoming PSG in the Parc des Princes. Inspired by Kylian Mbappe, the French champions destroyed United at Old Trafford in a 2-0 victory last month.
And with Bailly off, Solskjaer moved Ashley Young back to right-back, told substitute Diogo Dalot to push down the right flank and stuck to the 4-4-2 system that many believe is outdated in the modern game. But it worked.
