United, after their forgettable 6-1 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur, bounced back with a 4-1 win over Newcastle. While they make take some confidence into the clash following the win, the team isn't out of dire straits yet as they face a stern challenge against Neymar and Co.

Pre-buzz around the match
It's returns and debuts for both sides ahead of the clash. For the Red Devils, Alex Telles and Donny van de Beek might look to be starting off with the latter having an impressive outing against Newcastle. All eyes though will be on Edinson Cavani who was seen practicing with the squad ahead of the clash against his former team. With his quarantine now complete, Solskjaer might be tempted to let the veteran have a go against PSG.
Neymar's injury was a cause of concern; however, he is confirmed fit and his arrival will bolster PSG as he partners Kylian Mbappe against United.
Who will win?
Even as a rejuvenated United side will head to France with enough optimism, PSG is a tough unit to beat with a solid offense. While United did get the better of them in their last encounter, betting sites predict a PSG victory on Tuesday.
