Two of Europe's hottest young strikers face off when the Champions League resumes on Tuesday.Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has predicted fireworks when Marcus Rashford and Kylian Mbappe face off at Old Trafford.French phenom Mbappe, 20, and United’s in-form strike star Rashford will be hoping to strike first when Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain do battle in the Champions League last 16.
Both players were handed rests at the weekend.Mbappe was only used as a sub by coach Thomas Tuchel in PSG’s 1-0 win over Bordeaux, while England international Rashford was an unused substitute as United eased past Fulham .That allowed United's No.10 to see off a dead leg suffered in the win over Leicester , ensuring he is fully recovered for the clash with the French champions.
And with both young stars raring to go as Europe’s premier club competition resumes, United’s caretaker boss Solskjaer is tipping big things to take place on Tuesday night.“There will understandably be comparisons. I have seen Mbappe live only once and working with Marcus every single day he’s going to be a top quality player," said the Norwegian.
“I love working with him. I am sure PSG will look at Marcus the way we look at Mbappe – he’s one of the main threats.“Mbappe had a fantastic rise to stardom, he’s got a fantastic smile about him, a great enthusiasm. Strikers don’t really dominate football, but the pair of them will have a massive impression on football for the next 10 years.
"They will really light it up.”
