Just 22 days after suffering his only defeat as caretaker manager in the first leg, United arrived in France looking to become the first side in the competition\u2019s history to progress after suffering a first-leg home loss by two goals.<\/p>\n
The odds were stacked against them \u2013 but United turned the improbable into reality in an extraordinary Parc des Princes clash, securing a 3-1 victory and progress on away goals.<\/p>\n
Romelu Lukaku scored either side of Juan Bernat\u2019s effort in a first half which had Solskjaer\u2019s side dreaming, with the video assistant referee\u2019s stoppage-time time intervention leading to a penalty that Rashford slammed home.<\/p>\n
United were without 10 players at the big-spending Ligue 1 champions, but those selected embodied the positivity displayed by their manager and spirit synonymous with the club over the years.<\/p>\n
The visitors flew out of the blocks and Lukaku capitalized on a mistake within two minutes, slotting home after showing strength and skill.<\/p>\n
Thomas Tuchel\u2019s side rallied and looked set to roar ahead after Bernat turned home Kylian Mbappe\u2019s cross, only for Gianluigi Buffon to spill a hopeful Rashford shot into the path of Lukaku.<\/p>\n
It was a frantic first half followed by a far edgier second period and United\u2019s hopes of reaching a first quarter-final since 2014 looked to be over \u2013 until added time.<\/p>\n
Presnel Kimpembe was adjudged to have handled a Diogo Dalot shot after referee Damir Skomina looked at the incident on a monitor \u2013 and Rashford did the rest.<\/p>\n
The celebrations at full-time reflected the magnitude of the win and could well prove to secure Solskjaer the job permanently.<\/p>\n
