Neymar and PSG will of course take on Solskjaer’s side in the Champions League later this season, so the Brazil international gave his response to the change at the top and discussed the big game between the two teams.

‘I love the big matches and it’s always a pleasure to play in them. I’m very happy to be taking on Manchester United.’
