UEFA Champions league round of 16: Why Manchester united should perceive inevitable hopelessness as they prepare to meet Neymar and Paris Saint Germain.

The UEFA Champions league round of 16 draw has been unveiled as hopeless united was paired with Ligue 1 giants, Paris Saint Germain.

This draw is nothing but some salt in the wound of Manchester united, as their chance of going through looks possibly impossible. The despicable display from Mourinho's boys in the Premier league is just regrettably lugubrious in the heart of the club fans.



With United's porousness in the defence line, they have been so awful and sad to watch. United's complacency in the field of play has eaten deep into the passion of the players. There were numerous disjointed passes from United's players and the late substitution against Liverpool was just not good enough for the match.

The manager's stubbornness is another issue that is needed to be attended to. Jose seems dogmatic in his philosophy which is long obsolete and doesn't bring any form of advancement and achievements.

The forwards at united, most especially the big Belgian, Romelu Lukaku, he looks so heavy on the ball, he doesn't have a good positioning as a striker.



He wanders around the field of play like a "walking dead", he is highly ineffective and inefficient. He looks cut off from his teammates, he has wasted all the goal kicks taken by goalkeeper, David De Gea. 

Paul Pogba's unprofessional attitude on the pitch is another worrying headache of the manager. He prefers to  hold the ball, dribbles, and lose the ball to his opponents. And this style of play is what Jose detest, and he has been subsequently punish. Mourinho has sidelined the France midfielder in big matches against Liverpool and Arsenal this season and that is a signal that the manager is losing faith in the midfielder.

It is likely that the midfielder is sold at the end of the season and "selling Paul Pogba in the summer will not be a big deal for the club" says Former united midfielder, Roy Keane.

Now United has been paired with merciless and powerful Paris Saint Germain at the round of 16.
With France giants present form, it will be inevitably impossible for United to go through as they [PSG] look like a roaring lion looking for whom to devour.

Paris Saint Germain has predicted to have an easy ride on United to progress to the quarter finals, as no shock is expected from the Red Devils.

Other fixtures are as follows;
Shalke 04 vs Man city
Athletico Madrid vs Juventus
Tottenham vs Dortmund
Lyon vs Fc Barcelona
As Roma vs FC Porto
Ajax vs Real Madrid
Liverpool vs Bayern Munich
