PSG unhappy with Manchester United players

PSG were fuming on and off the pitch after Manchester United’s stunning Champions League victory, with the French side reportedly angered by the Red Devils’ raucous post-match celebrations.

United pulled off a remarkable result at the Parc des Princes, overturning a first-leg deficit to win 3-1 in the French capital thanks to a brace from Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford’s controversial stoppage-time penalty.

Afterwards, the United dressing room was positively bouncing as the players blared loud music, sung chants and danced around.

However, according to RMC Sport, PSG felt the celebrations crossed a line, spilling out of the dressing room, and the atmosphere got increasingly tense between the sides as the evening wore on.

There was a sombre, stunned silence in the home side’s dressing room and they could hear United’s celebrations loud and clear, with security called in to ‘bring calm’ in the lobby between the two changing rooms.

But it was a former United player who annoyed PSG officials most, with Patrice Evra – part of United’s delegation in Paris – allegedly singing, screaming and dancing at the tunnel entrance.

A source said it became ‘too much’ and there was a sense that Evra in particular could have showed more restraint and respect after such a gut-wrenching defeat for the hosts.

Incredibly, it took almost an hour for the first PSG player to leave the dressing room after full-time, with the squad stunned by their exit.

The defeat makes it three successive seasons that the big-spending French champions have failed to progress past the last 16 of the Champions League, having also thrown away a 4-0 lead against Barcelona in the 2016/17 season.
