Pique! Barca Must Respect Dangerous Man Utd

Manchester United never know when they are beaten and must not be underestimated by Barcelona in the Champions League, says Gerard Pique. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side set up the quarter-final tie after producing a stirring comeback against Paris Saint-Germain last month in the last 16. And Pique – who spent four years at the Red Devils before returning to his boyhood club in 2008 – has cautioned against complacency if they do leave England with a first-leg advantage. "I've seen the replay of Manchester United v PSG," he told a media conference. "It's a good example. "You can never leave Manchester United unmarked. You've got to finish off the job. They showed that in the second leg against PSG. "They've got a lot of good young players. The penalty at the end is a big example of what can happen. We know how dangerous United are."

Top Boost for Arsenal After Beating Man Utd

Top  Boost for Arsenal After Beating Man Utd Arsenal struck a potentially significant blow in the race for the Premier League top four with a 2-0 win over Manchester United at Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Arsenal started positively but should have been behind nine minutes in, when Romelu Lukaku steered Luke Shaw's low cross against the crossbar from six yards out. A Granit Xhaka strike and a second-half penalty from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who missed from the spot in the 1-1 draw with Tottenham last week, gave the Gunners three valuable points that lift them into fourth. The result also ends United's nine-game winning run away from home under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, just four days on from their dramatic Champions League victory over Paris Saint-Germain.

Solskjaer Slams Penalty Call Aafter Arsenal Loss

Solskjaer Slams  Penalty Call Aafter Arsenal Loss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has suggested that referee Jonathan Moss will be furious with himself for giving a penalty against Manchester United in Sunday's reverse at the hands of Arsenal. Caretaker manager Solskjaer suffered the first Premier League defeat of his United reign as goals from Granit Xhaka and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sealed a 2-0 home win for the Gunners. Solskjaer, however, took exception to Moss' decision, and expected the official to think again once he had another chance to watch the incident. "We started slowly, maybe a backlash from Wednesday night, but we created chances and when they get the first goal it becomes a different game," the interim boss explained to Sky Sports. "The referee will be disappointed when he sees it as I don't think it is a penalty. "We just had to go for it towards the end, but we were not really at it and it is one of those days where you have to dus...

UCL🏆: Miraculous Comeback Sees Man Utd Knock Out PSG

Manchester United made Champions League history as Marcus Rashford's last-gasp penalty secured a 3-1 win away to Paris Saint-Germain, sending the English side through on away goals after a 2-0 loss in the first leg. No side had ever progressed in a knockout match in Europe's elite competition after losing a home first leg by two or more goals, but United did the unthinkable, Rashford adding to Romelu Lukaku's brace after VAR drama. Although PSG controlled the first half, seeing 76 per cent of the ball, Thilo Kehrer and Gianluigi Buffon were guilty of gifting the in-form Lukaku two goals either side of Juan Bernat's equaliser, meaning United led at the break. PSG looked as though they had done enough, but with the use of technology, Presnel Kimpembe was penalised for handball and Rashford emphatically dispatched the opportunity, seeing the Ligue 1 team eliminated at the last-16 stage for a third year in succession.
