Neymar celebrates PSG’s goals against Manchester United and even does Kylian Mbappe’s trademark celebration on one foot

Neymar may only have one fully-functioning foot at the moment but that did not stop him from enjoying Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League  last-16 first-leg victory over Manchester United on Tuesday.

The Brazilian is currently sidelined after he suffered a metatarsal injury in the the French Cup win over Strasbourg last month, ruling him out of the two-legged tie against United, with the return fixture at the Parc des Princes on March 6.

The world’s most expensive player watched the action unfold at Old Trafford, as he wore a replica PSG home shirt with his name and number across the back.

Video footage obtained by OTRO captured Neymar supporting his team-mates and his subsequent reactions to both goals, scored by Presnel Kimpembe and Kylian Mbappe.

In a risky move, Neymar leapt from the comfort of his seat, where he was receiving treatment on his foot, after his side took command and even copied the cross-armed celebration of strike partner Mbappe.

 

Neymar will be desperate to get back on the field, with his return date given as early April, and help the Ligue 1 side edge closer to winning the competition that has so far eluded them.

The former Barcelona striker has been in devastating form so far this season, scoring 23 goals in 28 appearances across all competitions.

PSG are ten points clear of second-placed Lille in the table, although they have played two more games than their rivals.
