The Reminder

Inspiration from the 1999 European Champions League Final
Inspiration from the 1999 European Champions League Final

Bounce-back-ability has been the most striking feature of Solskjaer’s fledgling reign. The thrilling finish against Southampton, the knowledge of their reaction (to the first-leg defeat) against Chelsea and the reassurance of squad depth after the recent epidemic of muscle injuries will help United dare to dream for a miracle in Paris on Wednesday.

The Manchester club will hope to keep the backdoor closed with a seemingly settled back five and hope to counter attack with the pace of Rashford and Lukaku to get them the goals (at least 3 on the night). The dictum is patently clear, outscore PSG by 2 to go through to their first Champions League quarterfinal since the departure of Fergie.

The never-say-die attitude exemplified by Ole’s winner in the 1999 final will spur the latest Devils to don the red of Manchester, to give sweat, guts and even blood on the pitch at Parc Des Princes. They need another gallant and galactic chapter in the riveting tale of the club that knows best to overcome tragedy and doubts.

The history of the club is founded on defying insurmountable odds and gashing herculean obstacles, not just as a habit or necessity, but as a commitment.
