The Red Devils beat Paris Saint Germain 3-1 at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night, securing their spot in the quarterfinals of the competition on away goals with the final aggregate scoreline locked at 3-3.

A Romelu Lukaku double and a dramatic last-gasp Marcus Rashford penalty earned United their victory and caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer now has a record of 14 wins from 17 matches at the helm.
