Thomas Tuchel slams Ashley Young

PSG manager Thomas Tuchel criticised Manchester United skipper Ashley Young for shoving Angel di Maria off the pitch during last night’s match at Old Trafford. Young’s shove on Di Maria angered PSG players. However, did not book Young.

Tuchel believed that the shove was unnecessary and that Young deserved a booking for his shove on Di Maria. The German said, “I think he was lucky as it was not necessary – he has played many times here and he knows there is a little hill that goes down. There was no need to push Di Maria into the fence. I don’t think it was on purpose and I’m happy there was no big injury.”

Angel di Maria returned to Old Trafford for the first time since leaving Manchester United. The Manchester United persistently booed him throughout the match. However, Di Maria had the last laugh as he assisted both of PSG’s goals.

Tuchel praised Di Maria’s performance, saying, “Di Maria is very competitive. If you tease him, it does not make him weaker. I thought he had a good relationship with the fans. He was a bit nervous and needed to be calmer in the first half. In the end he did well.”

With two away goals, PSG have a massive advantage as they enter the second leg at Paris three weeks later. Before that, they have to play 5 matches. The first of them is a league game against Saint-Etienne on Sunday.
