Manchester United vs Paris Saint-Germain teams: Marcus Rashford returns to lead Red Devils line, Dani Alves starts in unusual position

Marcus Rashford will spearhead Manchester United’s frontline for their Champions League last-16 first leg match against Paris Saint-Germain at Old Trafford.

The striker was rested for their 3-0 win at Fulham in the Premier League last weekend as caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes five changes to the starting XI.

Jesse Lingard, Eric Bailly, Victor Lindelof, and Ashley Young all come in for Diogo Dalot, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and Juan Mata, while Rashford replaces Romelu Lukaku.

PSG have also named an interesting line-up as full-back Dani Alves appears to be getting a chance on the right side of their front three.

Thomas Tuchel has had to adjust his front line as Neymar and Edinson Cavani are injured but putting Alves there is something of a sideways move.

Kylian Mbappe starts as does Marco Verratti while former United man Angel di Maria lines up against his former club.

Below you can see the confirmed Manchester United and PSG teams.

Manchester United: De Gea, Young, Bailly, Lindelof, Shaw, Matic, Herrera, Pogba, Lingard, Martial, Rashford

Subs: Romero, Dalot, Jones, Fred, Mata, Sanchez, Lukaku

PSG: Buffon, Kehrer, Thiago Silva, Kimpembe, Bernat, Verratti, Marquinhos, Dani Alves, Draxler, Di Maria, Mbappe

Subs: Areola, Paredes, Choupo-Moting, Kurzawa, Nkunku, Diaby, Dagba
