L'Equipe hail Victor Lindelof and new-boy Alex Telles as the Manchester United stars who made PSG look 'unrecognisable' in their infamously tough player ratings - while Neymar and Kylian Mbappe get FOUR out of 10

French outlet L'Equipe was full of praise for Manchester United stars Victor Lindelof and Alex Telles after they helped down PSG 2-1 in their Champions League opener on Tuesday night.

Marcus Rashford's late winner made it a perfect start to the Red Devils' European campaign, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men put in a solid defensive display to keep the French giants' top stars quiet. 

L'Equipe, who are known for giving harsh player ratings, gave Swedish centre-back Lindelof a seven out of 10, the highest score out of all 11 players on the pitch, while new arrival Telles was awarded the same.

But they were damning about some of the performances of the hosts, who were made to look 'unrecognisable' by United. 

Kylian Mbappe and Neymar were expected to run riot against the struggling Premier League side, but both were shackled throughout and both duly scored a four.

On their front page, they said PSG were 'punished' by Marcus Rashford less than two months after competing in the Champions League final, with only goalkeeper Keylor Navas winning a rating higher than six. 

On the right side of the attack, the usually impressive Angel Di Maria joined Neymar and Mbappe in scoring a four, while former Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye could only muster a three.

On-loan Roma right-back Alessandro Florenzi was also given a three, with Ander Herrrera scoring four against his former club. At the back, Presnel Kimpembe fared slightly better as he was given a five, with Navas the top performer with a seven.

PSG boss Thomas Tuchel admits he was left baffled by his side's sub-par display. 

'It was a performance without intensity, without aggression, without counter-pressing,' he said. 'It was a bit bizarre, I don't know why.' 

For United, L'Equipe also gave a glowing review of David De Gea, who scored seven after making a succession of smart stops to show why Solskjaer is keeping him as his No 1 at Old Trafford.

Fred was United's lowest-scoring player as he was scored a four and Axel Tuanzebe was slightly higher on five despite winning praise from many pundits in his first game for the club in 10 months.

Scorers Rashford and Bruno Fernandes, who missed penalty in the first half before netting from the spot, have to be satisfied with a six, as well as Frenchman Anthony Martial - who scored an own goal after the interval.

The win continues United's mini revival after bouncing back from a 6-1 humbling at home to Tottenham by beating Newcastle 4-1 on Saturday.
