Rio Ferdinand was absolutely ecstatic with Manchester United’s performance in their impressive win over last season’s finalist PSG on the opening night of the Champions League.
A brilliant late win by Marcus Rashford, two years after scoring a last-minute penalty against the same opponents, in Paris meant Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side started their European campaign with three well-deserved points.
Former United defender Ferdinand emphasized how vital the long-term result could be for Solskjaer and his team, after an indifferent start to the season.
“Fantastic performance, the way they defended a man and as a team, how compact they were, they stuck to their job and they defended very well,” Ferdinand told BT Sport after the match.
‘They were a threat on the counter, [Marcus] Rashford inhaled three times, but eventually came up with the merchandise. The beginning of the season a lot of negativity, this could be a game to start the season, they will take great confidence as a collective.
‘He [Ole Gunnar Solskjaer] won his role today. To provoke [Paul] Pogba, changing the system. The confidence they will gain will be huge for them before a large number of games.
‘You have to reward performances like that [Tuanzebe]To play like this out of the cold, you deserve to be rewarded.
‘He [David De Gea] he had a period where he made mistakes, it wasn’t just a game, but Ole backed him, so Ole deserves credit too. ”
Bruno Fernandes, his club captain for the first time, had given United the lead in the first half after a penalty again, but PSG leveled after Anthony Martial headed his own net from a corner in the 55th minute.
But amid an open final of the contest, Rashford brilliantly turned the corner to clinch victory and his teammate and former United player Darren Fletcher also thought the visitors were the best team on the night at Parc des Princes. .
“They started with five defenders, PSG came into the game in the second half, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer changed quickly and after that they were the best team,” said Fletcher.
“They win the game with a fantastic shot from Rashford.”
Owen Hargreaves, another former United midfielder, added: ‘It was first class. David De Gea made three world-class stops, [Axel] Tuanzebe was the best central defender in the field.
‘I loved the energy, that was the best. Tonight they looked fit, all the players beat the PSG player, David De Gea looked like the best box, the best Bayern team and had balance and a great combination, United had a great combination tonight.
