When Manchester United were paired with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last-16 draw in December there seemed likely to be only one winner.

United were stuck in a rut under the management of Jose Mourinho, while the French champions topped the toughest section of the group stages.

However, much has changed in the two months since. United go into Tuesday's first leg at Old Trafford on a run of 10 wins and one draw since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced the sacked Mourinho.

PSG will have to cope without the injured Neymar for both legs of the tie due to injury and Edinson Cavani is also missing.

AFP Sports looks at five things Solskjaer has changed to give United hope of making the quarter-finals for the first time in five years.

Playing football the United way
===================
"To win games you need to pass it forward and run forward."
Pogba leads way
===============
"Before the coach arrived I was in the shadows, on the bench, and I accepted that," said Pogba. "It is a pleasure to play again. Now I am always smiling."
Rashford reborn
===============
All smiles

Lindelof like a new signing
