Manchester United face an uphill battle against Manchester City, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been part of famous comebacks before.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to use Manchester United's famous Champions League comeback against Paris Saint-Germain as inspiration when his side take on Manchester City in the EFL Cup.
Solskjaer knows United need a flawless display if they are to repeat the feat, but draws hope from that PSG encounter as well as United's 2-1 Premier League derby win in December.
"It looked like it was over at half-time," Solskjaer said of the first leg. "I have to say the second part of that first half they outplayed us for a while and it's hard, but then we got the goal, back in it.
"We hoped for another one but we have got to go into the memory bank and think PSG.
"We have done it against good teams before and that gives us hope and the game in December [against City] gives us hope.
"We can't just defend, we have to try to keep the ball and make them run after the ball.
"It has to be a perfect performance but we've done amazing things before at this club and the PSG game is, for me, a very, very good example of how you can make a two-goal deficit work in your favour. We need the first goal."

what spirit this man is deluded he is going to base his results on luck. what does he wish for now. I bet he is wishing he somehow gets some goals and fernandinho hands the ball on the box. how did my great msnchester utd come to this. it's like a full sized mansion made from cardboard , no substance the glazers and Woodward have sucked the life out of this club and solzjaer is holding the club down while they do it. no class no will no balls no trust . Ole out Ole is a liar

Dear Solskjaer, against PSG it wasn’t CWC final, not UCL final, no clean sheet, not even Q8. You have been mentioning this tie for two decades while it was squared (3-3). Is it cuz of that match that keep you till then? or cuz it’s your last forever in the competition?
