And it is there that United and their dodgy defence could face the thrilling attacking force of Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and ex-Red Angel Di Maria.

The Ligue 1 trio – part of the team that lost last season’s Champions League final to Bayern Munich – score goals for fun.

Although, to be fair, even Brighton looked like doing that in their recent 3-2 loss to United.

But would you fancy Harry Maguire, Eric Bailly, Victor Lindelof and Co being able to thwart the Parisian triple threat?

United got the better of PSG on away goals when they met two seasons ago with a memorable 3-1 win in the French capital.

They might need something similar this time.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Juventus also sit in Pot 1, alongside Bayern Munich, Sevilla, Real Madrid and Zenit St Petersburg as possible opponents.

Below them, United could be given a nightmarish draw with Inter Milan from Pot 3 and Monchengladbach from Pot 4.

Romelu Lukaku has so far proved for Antonio Conte the goalscoring machine United hoped he would be.

And the attacking prowess of former United captain Ashley Young plus Ivan Perisic and Christian Eriksen could give Solskjaer huge cause for concern.

As for Monchengladbach, they look to be improving under Marco Rose and could spring a major surprise.

The Champions League does not start until October 20 as a result of the pandemic and delayed season starts across Europe.

But teams are set to have to play six fiercely competitive European ties during the most congested season in history – possibly complicating their Premier League ambitions as well.
