Manchester United could look to depend on their full-backs and wingers

Amid all the injuries that have reduced Manchester United to a mini hospital, the emergence of young Diogo Dalot has been a source of optimism. The Portuguese was key to the fabulous come back against Southampton on Saturday, charging up United as soon as he stepped on the field. What caught everyone's attention was his movement and performance on the right, an area that has been United's bane this season. If he can repeat his performance against PSG, it could do wonders for the Red Devils.

Dalot's speed and crossing ability through the right could trouble PSG and with Luke Shaw to the fray will probably make things pretty interesting. Manchester United's two young full-backs could be key to United getting back into the tie at Paris. Shaw has been fantastic of late and he has mixed defensive solidity with his attacking prowess exceedingly well. If he and Dalot find a little rhythm and manage to run at the PSG defence, United could find a breakthrough easier than they envision.
