Back to the game, I thought United actually looked decent for 20-30 minutes. I still think even though they've had a fantastic run, that the full hangover of Mourinho still has not gone. Once we ran out of ideas we retreated into our shell a bit and started to let PSG dominate the game. 

The players need to have the belief that they are capable of playing good football for 90 minutes. This will come with time but for now we just have to accept that we can't match top tier games across that period.

Martial and Lingard were big losses.

Agreed about the 90 minutes thing, when we got nervous we dropped into park the bus mode and invited a little too much pressure.

Once 2-0 down, PSG just parked the bus big time.
