Ole Gunnar Solskjaer feels Manchester United can turn around things when they take on Paris Saint Germain in a crucial round of 16 second leg in Paris on Wednesday.
United looked to be heading out of the Champions League as PSG registered two valuable away goals at the Old Trafford in the first leg. But a number of encouraging performances afterwards has built the momentum and the Red Devils will surely fancy their chances against the mighty French side.
As many as 10 senior players will be unavailable for this game and the Norwegian has taken a number of academy youngsters who could help the team in this crisis situation.
United are regarded as the comeback kings but the Red Devils need to pull off a stunning display to overcome their first leg disappointment.
Solskjaer said, “It is a difficult task but we can do it,
“Obviously, we need the first goal and need to stay in the game. If there’s half an hour left, and only one goal in it, anything can happen.
”We need a good plan. It needs to be put in place. We need to perform on the night, of course, as they are a team full of quality.“
“Of course, everyone knows that we can do it,
“That we have done it. The results in the Champions League over the last few years have been… I don’t want to call them strange, but like last year, Juventus lost 3-0 at home against Real Madrid and suddenly they were 3-0 up after 90 minutes against Madrid away.
”The year before that, PSG versus Barcelona, we all remember those results. There are so many examples of teams that can change results like this.
“Us as a club, we’ve done it so many times. The players have been fantastic away from home, we’ve beaten Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham away from home which has given us belief that we can do this as well.
It’s never ‘mission impossible'”.
