France World Cup winner Bixente Lizarazu says Kylian Mbappe can handle leading PSG's attack at Manchester United on Tuesday.

PSG face United in the first-leg of their Champions League round 16 tie shorn of injured attackers Edinson Cavani and Neymar.

That leaves Mbappe as PSG's main attacker and Lizarazu insists: "Mbappé's responsibilities with the absences of Neymar and Cavani? He showed that it was not a problem for him. Remember the World Cup, he was phenomenal. I am not worried about this pressure. I think he's able to handle it.

"I think he is able to be decisive. The only problem is the pass. Will the pass happen? (Julian) Draxler or (Angel) Di Maria, who are supposed to make the passes will have to give him the right balls.

"Neymar was essential and especially their affinity, their complicity will be greatly missed, but if he has the possession, he has the shoulders."
