Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Paris Saint-Germain

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester United's latest injury and suspension news as they could be missing as many as 10 first-team players for their clash with PSG.

Manchester United will be looking to pull off an unlikely turnaround when they take on Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night.

PSG recorded a 2-0 win at Old Trafford in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, leaving United needing to at least match that scoreline in the French capital if they are to keep their hopes of a quarter-final spot alive.

However, the Red Devils are in fine form under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, whose only defeat from 16 games in interim charge came in the reverse fixture of this tie.

United's unbeaten domestic run has been threatened by a spate of injuries over the past week or so, though, and that will leave the Norwegian with a depleted squad to choose from on Wednesday too.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up United's latest injury and suspension news.
