Aaron Wan-Bissaka was simply outstanding for Manchester United on Tuesday night. The 22-year-old kept the likes of Mbappe, Neymar and Angel Di Maria at bay with his positional awareness and crucial interventions.

Wan-Bissaka was always on hand to thwart the trio's efforts as he completed a game-high of six tackles and made 25 blocks.

Often criticised for his lack of attacking output, the English full-back is second to none in terms of defensive contributions, and Tuesday night was another reminder of the same.

Flop: Neymar (PSG)

Mbappe wasn't the only PSG star who had a bad night as Neymar was left pretty frustrated too. Often a talisman for the Parisians on nights like these, the Brazilian was brilliantly kept at arm's length by Manchester United's well-drilled defence.

He started brightly, dribbling his way forward and getting into good attacking positions but never really impacted the match. He only had one key pass and one shot on target from 93 touches.

Marcus Rashford's importance to Manchester United has grown by leaps and bounds over the years, and his performance against PSG stood as a testament to this fact.

His late winner on Tuesday was his second goal at the Parc des Princes in as many appearances there.

The 22-year-old was a nuisance throughout the game with his constant forays down the right flank. However, what was missing was the cutting edge as he wasted a couple of chances early on.

Fortunately for Manchester United, he stepped up to the plate in the last few minutes of the game, firing a piledriver into the far post to sink PSG, just like he did in March last year.
