Paul Pogba red card compounds the misery for Manchester United after Paris Saint-Germain defeat

It's a remarkable statistic, but Manchester United's defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night was their worst ever home defeat in European competition.

But a two-goal margin, as record breaking as it may be, is not one you would say is impossible to overturn. Besides, this is Paris Saint-Germain - the unwilling architects of La Remontada - that we are talking about.

Yet the sting in the tail did not come with Kylian Mbappe's poacher's finish midway through the second half. What makes this tie veer close to insurmountable, will be the absence of Paul Pogba.
