Last season, Man United faced the daunting task of overturning a two-goal deficit against the defending Ligue 1 champions in the second leg of their UCL last-16 clash. In the midst of an injury crisis, Solskjaer took a relatively inexperienced squad to France for the PSG vs Man United encounter and the unthinkable followed at the Parc des Princes. Romelu Lukaku gave the visitors a perfect start with an early goal but Juan Bernat levelled the scores on the night on 12 minutes. Lukaku however, got himself on the scoresheet again when he pounced on a mistake by goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon 15 minutes before half time.
