But Thomas Tuchel's side had to wait around until 1:20am before they could begin their return journey.

Verratti and Mbappe were held up at Old Trafford until the early hours of the morning for a routine drugs test.

The squad were then spotted wearing their matching Jordan team tracksuits before they boarded the plane.

And it will be straight back to business for the Ligue 1 leaders ahead of this Sunday's clash with St-Etienne.

Mbappe was the star of the show as PSG brought an end to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's unbeaten run with United.

After Presnel Kimpembe opened the scoring in the second half, Mbappe doubled the tally in the 60th minute.

But Solskjaer insisted after his 11-game unbeaten start to life at United ended: “Mountains are there to be climbed because you can’t lay down and say this is over.

"We are going to have to go down there and believe in ourselves and improve. But today was a kind of a reality check on our level from the top teams.”
