    Bruno Fernandes looks dejected

    Now if you get chance my colleague Phil Dawkes has put together a piece looking at the cost of Manchester United's latest Champions League failure.

    Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's future as manager, Paul Pogba's agent angling for a move for his client and the financial implications of dropping out of Europe's elite club competition are looked at.

    Well worth a read.

    Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

    That headline in the Daily Express seems pretty apt given Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said his side "didn't turn up" until it was too late against RB Leipzig.

    Not for the first time this season his tactics and decisions will also come under scrutiny.

    Failing to substitute Fred proved costly at home to Paris St-Germain and on Tuesday United's unfamiliar five-man defence conceded twice in the opening 13 minutes.

    They looked outnumbered in midfield and when they didn't have the ball nobody really looked like they had any idea about what they were supposed to be doing.

    There were also some baffling substitutions involving Alex Telles, Luke Shaw and Brandon Williams (all left-backs) when they were chasing the game.

    And while a half-time switch in tactics they were unable to complete (a now routine) salvage operation.

    So where now for United and Solskjaer, who face Manchester City in the Premier League next?

    Right time to have a quick look at what's in the national newspapers this morning...

  9. PSG v Istanbul Basaksehir abandoned amid racism allegations

    PSG v Istanbul Basaksehir

    As I mentioned earlier Paris St-Germain's game against Istanbul Basaksehir will resume on Wednesday after it was abandoned on Tuesday with a match official accused of using a racist term towards one of the away side's backroom staff.

    Istanbul allege fourth official Sebastian Coltescu used the language towards their assistant coach Pierre Webo.

    Former Cameroon international Webo was shown a red card in an exchange on the touchline.

    Istanbul players walked off the pitch in protest, with PSG players following.

    You can catch up on the full story around that here.
