Former Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Erik Thorstvedt has told the Norwegian media Manchester United have no chance of making it to the next round of the Champions League.
The Premier League side face an uphill task getting to the quarter finals of the competition following their 2-0 home loss to PSG last night.
Dagbladet have reported on comments Thorstvedt made in the aftermath of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first loss as Manchester United boss: “There was a class difference. They were sometimes outplayed by PSG.”
Asked if the English club could go through the Norwegian said: “Zero.”
With Paul Pogba ruled out of the second leg in Paris due to his sending off, and injury concerns for Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard, it’s no wonder the former Tottenham man thinks Manchester United will struggle to get past PSG.
Solskjaer’s side were still in the game before the injuries to Martial and Lingard and the introduction of Alexis Sanchez and Juan Mata made a big difference.
The pair now face a race against time to make the next leg in three week’s time.
