United suffered their first defeat under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer when they were beaten by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday but prior to that setback the Norwegian, who replaced Jose Mourinho in December, had led his side on an 11-game unbeaten run.

Monday’s fixture is a repeat of last season’s final, which we won 1-0, and a third consecutive meeting between the teams in the competition. David Luiz spoke about United’s form under Solskjaer.

‘Even before they were a great team with a great manager, Jose Mourinho tried to do everything for the best for Man United but then they decided to change,’ said the Brazilian.

‘It became Solskjaer and he’s doing amazing because he’s a great coach and also he has great players. United have had the same team for a long time, they understand his philosophy and they try to enjoy it.’
