Eric Bailly is among two changes made by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as Manchester United get set to face PSG in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 second leg at Parc des Princes

Bailly has replaced Alexis Sanchez in the side that started against Southampton in the Premier League this past weekend, with the Chilean missing the game through a knee injury. The Ivorian returns in what looks like a back-three, also featuring Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof.

The other change made by the Manchester United caretaker boss sees Fred returning to the starting lineup, replacing Paul Pogba, who is suspended after being sent off in the first leg at Old Trafford. The Brazilian has Andreas Pereira and Scott McTominay for company in midfield.

The likes of David de Gea, Ashley Young, Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford and Romelu Lukaku have kept their places from the weekend’s fixture. Meanwhile, Solskjaer has also named academy quartet Tahith Chong, James Garner, Angel Gomes and Mason Greenwood in the matchday squad, with one or two among the four in line to make their Champions League debuts.
