The Ligue 1 side started on the front foot and should have taken an early lead when a weak David de Gea clearance went straight to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but he placed his shot over the bar.

United responded well as a neat move saw Wayne Rooney set up Memphis Depay, but he shot wide from the edge of the box.

Ibrahimovic wasted another great chance when he headed wide from close range, before United's Juan Mata had a goal ruled out for offside.

PSG took the lead minutes later when Blaise Matuidi broke the offside trap before prodding home past De Gea.

Laurent Blanc's men looked dangerous in attack throughout the half, and doubled their lead just after the half-hour mark as Maxwell crossed for Ibrahimovic to tap in.

Depay came close to pulling one back for United with a free kick which forced Kevin Trapp into a save, but that was the closest they came to scoring in the opening period.

United made plenty of changes after the break and almost found a route back into the game as a neat move saw Andreas Pereira cross for Rooney, who headed the ball back for Depay but his volley went wide.

However, PSG continued to look dangerous going forward as Ibrahimovic found himself in a great position in front of goal, but his measured chip was cleared off the line by new United signing Matteo Darmian.

Substitute Youssouf Sabaly wasted another PSG chance minutes later as he sprinted through on goal down the left-hand side, but he skewed his shot wide of the near post.

United struggled to apply pressure in the closing stages, allowing PSG to comfortably see the game out.
