It appears Neymar was impressed with Manchester United despite Paris Saint-Germain’s 3-1 win at Old Trafford.
Manchester United must have been confident in their clash with Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night, but the match turned out to be quite disappointing for the Red Devils as they were beaten 3-1 by the French champions.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men were able to bounce back in the first half after conceding 6 minutes into the game with Marcus Rashford’s draw in the 32nd minute. And going into the second half, it was the hosts who seemed to be in control. .
A win on Wednesday night would have secured United a place in the round of 16, but now anything can happen on the final matchday. The two teams, along with RB Leipzig, boast 9 points in Group H and as a result, Solskjaer’s men’s game against the Germans could end up being a tie.
However, Neymar appeared to be impressed by the Red Devils and has claimed that they have been his toughest opponents both mentally and on the field.
It seems reasonable that the Brazilian superstar has hailed United as his toughest opponent, as the two teams have had some memorable matches in the Champions League in recent years with the Premier League giants on top most of the time. .
But on Wednesday night, PSG were finally able to put an end to all the speculation that they could not play against United by scoring 2 goals and putting themselves in control of the group.

As reported by the Manchester Evening News, Neymar said in an interview:
“After today’s game [PSG vs Man United] that, for me, it was the hardest game for us mentally and also on the pitch.
“We are very aware that the next game will also be difficult, but I think that after acting like we did today we can definitely win.
“It was a great victory. In the last game, I said that we had to change our mindset, the way we play and rediscover our identity, which helped us to become Champions League finalists last year.
“Today, we show it. We are approaching our best by playing well, fighting, working hard as a team, so I think that’s the spirit.
“Of course we have a lot of things we still have to work on, we want to get to a point where we are all playing our best.
“I think today we show that we can play better than we have been playing recently.
“So I think it was a great victory against a very good team, with a lot of quality. We are very happy with the result “.
Anything but a loss to PSG would have seen United reserve their place in the round of 16 of the competition, but it did not. They now have what promises to be a nervous affair against RB Leipzig. Again, United only needs to draw to pass. And hopefully, they’ll have enough in the tank to get the job done this time.
