PSG coach Tuchel brands Man Utd 'Guingamp of the Premier League'

PSG coach Thomas Tuchel has branded Manchester United the 'Guingamp of the Premier League'.

The Ligue 1 champions were stunned as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's injury-hit side defied the odds to dump them out of the Champions League in midweek.

Yet Tuchel has blasted United's tactics in Wednedsay's dramatic win and downplayed their historic achievement.

"After the second goal, we controlled the match, we played with a lot of quality," Tuchel told RMC Sport.

"We react well to the first goal we gave them. We had a lot of chances but we did not score the second, or the third.

"Aside from that, with not even a chance, with not even anything they get a second goal. The second goal turned the match completely in our heads.

"In the second half, they didn't have a single chance.

"I have the same feeling now as I did after our defeat to Guingamp in the Coupe de la Ligue, it was impossible to lose and we lost with three penalties.

"Today, I never had the impression that Manchester United wanted to win here. We lost but we controlled the whole game.

"They won, congratulations to them, but I have no explanation as to how they won."
