The Red Devils made it two wins from two matches in Group H with a 5-0 thumping of RB Leipzig at Old Trafford last time out. United got their campaign up and running with a 2-1 win away to Paris Saint-Germain. 
 
Marcus Rashford scored a late winner in the French capital and topped his performance in Paris by netting a second-half hat-trick against Leipzig. 
 
“He [Rashford] came on, did well – the impact, of course, we want that from the subs," said United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. 
 
"That’s only possible though when the others have laid the groundwork and what a shift they put in. Because they do make you work Leipzig, the high press, the counter press, the intensity and we had to really dig deep and work hard for each other. 
 
"Spaces open up when you’re winning, of course, and we knew that today was a day that we had to rest a few because this season is relentless, so we could use the squad. This group is coming together, of course we’ve added a few quality players and the more quality you have and spirit you have, the better chance you have of a performance.”
