Having started the season quite difficultly, the "Manchester United" team unexpectedly won their UEFA Champions League opening match on Tuesday, defeating Paris Saint-Germain 2-1. After the match, "Red Devils" manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer spared no praise for his team, stating that his players needed time after a tough end to the previous season. "These guys showed that they can play very well. We enjoyed the game tonight. I am extremely satisfied with the players' attitude and dedication in this match. There is a fantastic atmosphere in the team after the international break, and it makes me very happy. I am happy for my players. We knew how to play against such a team and, in my opinion, the team executed the game plan perfectly. The credit goes to the players for that. We looked at this match as an opportunity to take another step forward. It is clear that teams that played longer last season still struggle to find their rhythm. However, I believe our form is gradually returning," said O. G. Solskjaer after the victory.
The Norwegian also had kind words for defender Axel Tuanzebe, who returned to the field after a long break and performed exceptionally well against PSG's attacking stars. "Tuanzebe played incredibly good matches. He only joined the team's training a few weeks ago, but he handled his tasks perfectly. Axel is a great defender with leadership qualities. We know very well what he is capable of, as he grew up in the club's academy. I have no doubt that Tuanzebe will become a top-level player," added the "Man Utd" manager.
