'Massive' PSG win in Champions League is huge for Man Utd's confidence, says De Gea

David de Gea has described Manchester United’s victory at Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League as ‘massive’ and believes it can fill the team with confidence going into a tricky run of fixtures.

United made the trip to Paris on Tuesday as underdogs, against a team boasting the attacking talents of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Angel Di Maria.

There were no signs of trepidation from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side, as they played on the front foot and took a deserved lead through Bruno Fernandes’ 23rd-minute penalty.
