The majority of Manchester United supporters were not expecting to see a comeback in the second leg against Paris Saint-Germain.
With ten first-team players missing, few could have predicted last night’s result, which made the celebrations all the more wild from fans and players alike.
One of those missing was Jesse Lingard, who was recovering from a hamstring injury he picked up against Liverpool. The forward recorded a video of himself going crazy after United’s win yesterday:
Enjoy that, @JesseLingard? ? #MUFC pic.twitter.com/Yj4Oanh8qj

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was one of the few who said it wasn’t ‘Mission Impossible’ to turnaround a two-goal deficit from the first leg, and he proved to be right.
The Norwegian will surely now get the job on a permanent basis after such a remarkable result. The important games are, though, coming thick and fast.
United face Arsenal at the Emirates this weekend in a crucial match in the race for the top four.
