The agent of PSG goalkeeper Gigi Buffon has defended the veteran after their Champions League defeat to Manchester United.

Buffon spilled a Marcus Rashford shot on the half-hour mark allowed Romelu Lukaku to pounce to make the score 2-1 on the night. United went onto win 3-1 and reach the quarterfinals.

“There is always a lot [of criticism], especially in Italy . For sure the wet pitch didn't help him," Silvano Martina told Calciomercato.

"Sometimes there is nobody close to the goal, this time there was Lukaku ready to score. I am sure Gigi has forgotten it already."

Martina added that he isn't sure whether Buffon will extend his stay in Paris by another year, amid speculation that the club will let him go in the summer.

"I speak with the club and I don't follow these rumours," he said.

"Let the time pass by, then we'll take a decision."
