United boss admits to wake-up call
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted his side were given a wake-up call after their 2-0 defeat at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night.
Presnel Kimpembe and Kylian Mbappe both found the back of the net as the Ligue 1 champions managed to pull off an impressive victory at Old Trafford.
United have enjoyed a resurgence under Solskjaer, who has managed to turn things around after the departure of his predecessor Jose Mourinho.
However, the defeat at the hands of PSG in the Champions League was a stark reminder of how much more progress United need to make if they are to return to the top of the game, according to Solskjaer.
"Today was a kind of a reality check on the level of the top teams," he said.
"That is the level we want to get to. Top four is one thing. United should be at the top. They are a top team. [Our players] know we need to step up our level. We are disappointed."
United will have to do without France midfielder Paul Pogba for the return leg, after he was shown two yellow cards in Tuesday's encounter.
United are 5/1 to win, 10/3 to draw and 1/2 to lose the second leg at the Parc des Princes.
