United take on the French champions tonight facing a huge task to overhaul a two-goal first-leg deficit.
That 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford has put PSG in control of the last-16 tie before tonight's return game at the Parc des Princes.
But United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists it is not impossible to expect his side to pull off a shock victory to keep alive their European dreams.
And not only would an upset go down as one of the club's best results in European competition in recent years – it would also be worth big money.
The side which makes it through to the last eight is due an extra payment of £9m from Uefa because of how the competition's prize money is structured.
Each side who makes it into the Champions League earns a payout from the various television broadcast deals, but they also receive bonuses depending on how well they do.
Every one of the eight teams who make it through to the quarters will get an extra £9m payout from Uefa – with a further £10.31m going to all the sides who reach the semi-finals.
Reaching the final is worth £12.88m to the two teams, with a further £3.44m going to the eventual winners.
It means the total money still up for grabs for United and PSG ahead of tonight's match is as much as £35.6m.
If United are to pull off a second-leg shock they will have to do so with a squad ravaged by injuries.
Solskjaer is without as many as ten first team players for the match in France as his squad is pushed to the limit.
Paul Pogba misses the game through suspension having been sent-off late in the first leg, while Ander Herrera, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata are all injured.
Alexis Sanchez, Anthony Martial and Antonio Valencia are also sidelined through injury – leaving United having to cobble together a makeshift side.
