‘Had Neymar And Mbappe On A Leash’ ‘Brick Wall’ Fans Hail United Star After ‘Phenomenal Performance’ Against PSG

Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe put in an incredible display to help the Red Devils to a well deserved 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain.

The 22-year-old had not played a first-team game for ten months due to injury. However, the absences of captain Harry Maguire and Eric Bailly meant he had to be called into action and he did not disappoint.

Tuanzebe kept both Neymar and Kylian Mbappe quiet for most of the game and supporters on Twitter were quick to praise the player following the victory last night:


To go that length of time without playing and still come into the team and put in that sort of performance tells you that Tuanzebe has massive potential.

Considering United’s woeful defensive record this season, you would have thought that he would be a nailed-on starter from now on, especially with Maguire being a doubt for the weekend’s game against Chelsea.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will need to be careful with Tuanzebe, though, as he has had his problems with injuries so his game time will need to be managed carefully.
