Not sure about the contract extensions for both Smalling and Jones either. Rojo will surely be binned in the summer, then we have Lindelof, Bailly, Smalling and Jones, and hopefully some youth coming through. Does that leave room for a new centre back signing? I would have preferred one of the chuckle brothers to be binned off along with Rojo, bring in an experienced top-class centre back, and allow some room for a youth player like Tuanzebe to step up and get minutes.
As for the team vs PSG, it will most likely be:
De Gea
Young — Bailly — Lindelof — Shaw
Matic — Herrera
Pogba
Lingard — Rashford — Martial
Love how Ole has brought some proper consistency back to the team selections. Feels like years since we’ve had that at United.

I think Smalling is the best of a bad bunch.
His distribution is truly awful, but he's easily the most dependable and is a good solid defender.
He looked shakey yesterday at the start, but completely bossed Mitrovic after that.
His style compliments Lindelof quite too. Like a discount Rio and Vidic.
Bailly is the one we hope can step up
Rojo will be gone, Jones should have gone too, but oh well.
