OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER has claimed his squad are confident of dumping Paris Saint-Germain out of the Champions League – despite being without ten key players.
Manchester United go into Wednesday's last-16 second-leg clash trailing 2-0 after their loss the French champions at Old Trafford.
But they know they have a mountain to climb at Parc des Princes thanks to nine injuries – while Paul Pogba is suspended following his red card in the first leg.
Alexis Sanchez is feared to have knee ligament damage, while Anthony Martial is a doubt to face PSG due to a groin strain.
Ander Herrera, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata are all out with hamstring injuries, with Nemanja Matic also battling his own muscle problem.
Illness could prevent Phil Jones from featuring in Paris, while Antonio Valencia is out with a calf strain and Matteo Darmian is currently recovering from a knock.
Speaking on whether any of his crocked stars would be fit in time to face Thomas Tuchel's men, Solskjaer said: "Not really, no.
"It doesn't look like it. No, I don't think we can risk it (playing Martial). He has not been training yet so I don't think so."
But the Norwegian insists his side believe they are fully capable of defying the odds to seal their place in the Champions League quarter-finals, despite being two-down on aggregate.
He added: "I have to say, they are confident going into the game knowing that we are 2-0 down.
