Andreas Pereira started the match on the right of the midfield and in the first half, he had a frustrating outing. But, Solskjaer put him in the number 10 role in the second half and he reaped the benefits from it. The Brazilian brought Manchester United with an absolutely stunning goal from atleast 35 yards out. It curved into the top corner and it was delightful to watch.

He also gave the assist for Manchester United's second goal, which was scored by Romelu Lukaku. Andreas Pereira clearly looked more comfortable in that free role, and now the Brazilian looks set to start in the attacking role against PSG as Paul Pogba is suspended. Pereira clearly took his chance to impress Solskjaer and he was then substituted for Fred late in the second half.
