it was a tenth victory in 11 games under caretaker manager ole gunnar solskjaer. ety. here's stuart pollitt with more. under ole gunnar solskjaer, manchester united have been revitalised. today they were reshuffled. six and changes against struggling fulham settled the better. a waste of their first and best chance. paul pogba made them pay. a ferocious strike. sergio unmoved, pogba able to show off his moves to the united fans. that is what was about to be demonstrated. city defence and straight into the corner. united proving their watching owner, surely impressed. a penalty which pogba converted. jose mourinho predicted united will make the top four in the new year. his successor has done just that. psg are next up in the champions league. but domestically at least they are still not stopping the smiling ole gunnar solskjaer. we know how good it is going forward. we know it is physical presence in the box, always going to cause a problem for the players. a great goal for the first one, fantastic strike. you want to keep moving on, onto the next one. you want to

ole gunnar solskjaer said last night's loss to paris saint germain in the champions league was a reality check, his first defeat in 12 games since his appointment as caretaker manager, they were outclassed by the french champions in the first leg of their last 16 tie. kimpembay with the first, and kylian mbappe with the second. paul pogba was sent off late on and will miss the return leg in paris. disappointed of course, because i thought he was our best player, he had three players around him all the time and he was still out on top so that is a big blow because he has been fantastic for us. england forward jadon sancho has been labelled the best young player in german football heading into borussia dortmund's tie with tottenham tonight. steffen freund who played for both clubs belives he's the biggest talent playing there. since his move from city he's earned an england call up and his team mates are aware of his

the ole gunnar solskjaer express rolls on. a few great saves and blocks and some headers.ink we could have done better defending higher up the pitch. when they put us under pressure, we put everything we had in front of that goal and we deserved the three points, i thought. a lot of disappointment. in the second—half, we showed a lot of other things, more second—half, we showed a lot of otherthings, more desire, quality in our play, playing forward. we started the game with a poor performance, without it was a shame. celtic are now 6 points clear at the top of the scottish premiership — two goals in the last 12 minutes gave them the win over stjohnstone — nick parrott was watching this one. hoping to follow in his father's footsteps — this is timothy weah, the son of george. at just 18, he shows that he could be a game changer. celtic have struggled away from home this season. they battled for 74 minutes to force an opening at stjohnstone but one wasn't forthcoming until weah came off the bench. on loan from psg, the usa international took just a few minutes to make his ma

if they announce ole gunnar solskjaer now, will the players continue to play with the same intensity?ave some contract announcements, phil jones in particular, so no need to hurry but solskjaer has to get the job because he's in with what this great is about. the tie is so keenly anticipated and also on the day gordon banks' sad death was announced, it is fitting that we will have the great goalkeeper buffon playing in this match. manchester united aren't the only english side in champions league action this week. although england's jadon sancho almost missed his trip with borussia dortmund afterforgetting his passport. he delayed the team for two hours. he's well on the way now though. mauricio pochettino's spurs side lie in wait. a good run of results but not playing the football they would have wanted at the moment with harry kane and dele alli still sidelined. but their manager is still confident. we know the competition will be tough. we are going to face a team that sits on the top of the table and every season that sits on the top of the table and every season is doing well. it

while manchester united have now won nine of their ten games since ole gunnar solskjaer was appointedobbling of late. to hunt liverpool down, the champions needed to start well. how's that for getting stuck in? a torrid ten minutes followed for arsenal. this could get very embarrassing, very quickly. but then city left laurent koscielny unmarked from a corner and arsenal were right back in it. nerves were starting to jangle, but a classy team move saw sterling's perfect pass present aguero with a tap in. no chance of missing from there. the argentinian was on a hat—trick, but it would be a controversial one. was he given a helping hand? as arsenal protested, aguero celebrated. city were making it look rather easy, showing they have the bottle for a title fight. there's always room for improvement, though, when your manager is a perfectionist. no need for the mood, pep. 3—1 the final score with a standing ovation for a hat—trick hero. over to you, liverpool. in the earlier game, manchester united were looking to keep their momentum under ole gunnar solskjaer. paul pogba has looked like

manchester united have been flying since ole gunnar solskjaer took over as caretaker manager, but therst tonight as they lost the first leg of their champions league last 16 match to paris saint germain. 2—0 the final score, and our sports correspondent katie gornall was watching. so a mountain to climb when they head to france for the second leg? you're right, this is a big reality check, this 2—0 defeat. i think it is important to remember the context of it all, because just eight weeks ago, united were in turmoil on their jose mourinho, when the draw was made. i think a lot of united fans back then dreaded the chance of psg. but since then, he has won ten games and unbeaten in 11 games. so there was this wave of positivity coming into this match, and i think a lot of fa ns into this match, and i think a lot of fans really believed they could get something from this psg site. the pack of talent were depleted, they were without their star players. but even though they were weakened, there was still too much for united here. they were testy and nervy in the first half with not much to
