Manchester United will open tonight (22:00) the home stage of the Champions League in an intriguing extra-curricular meeting with Paris Saint-Germain.
The Red Devils started the season in the Premier League with instability, but come to tonight’s meeting after a 1-4 win over Newcastle in the final round.
"This is our biggest test so far this season," said Ola Gunnar Solskjaer, who will have to make do tonight without captain Harry Maguire, Eric Bay, Jesse Lingard and freshman Edinson Cavani who will not make his debut against the ex.
"Everyone wants to be in the Champions League and we were drawn with a finalist last season, Salzburg who were eliminated in the semi-finals and Shiktash who is returning to the factory. It is a challenging home," the coach continued.
Bruno Fernandez, who will be up tonight with the captain's armband, said: "I did not expect to receive this honor. When you play for a team like United you have to want to win titles. I do not know if we will be able to do that, but it is important that we strive to win the Champions League. "The mentality of United is to win, win and keep winning. We hope it will help us get the titles we want."

Mauro Icardi, Juan Burnett, Leonardo Pardes and Marco Verratti are just some of the missing.
"I hope that Marcinius and Dreklesser will be fit for tonight's game," said the PSG coach. "We were a super strong team last season and we need to prove ourselves again this season. Opportunities in the Jordan Valley in the face of the strongest defenses in Europe. "
