Wenger: PSG outclassed Man Utd in every aspect

Arsene Wenger was unimpressed with Manchester United's performance against PSG on Tuesday night.

United suffered their heaviest European defeat at Old Trafford as Thomas Tuchel's side ran away with a 2-0 victory, thanks to goals from Presnel Kimpembe and Kylian Mbappe.

"The difference, technically, in speed of understanding of the game between the two teams, was huge and it became bigger as the game went on," Wenger told BeIN Sport.

"Man United played at home and had one shot on goal in a Champions League game - that tells you the difference between the two teams.

"In the Champions League you can't be dominated in midfield and the whole evening, Manchester United were dominated in midfield.

"PSG played with five midfielders and they never lost the ball.

"Manchester United could never win the ball back and when they had the ball they lost it very quickly because PSG dominated the midfield to win the ball back.

"They lost the battle in midfield. When you play at home and you cannot keep the ball, you're always in trouble."
