Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted he had doubts whether Marcus Rashford would score the stoppage time penalty that sent Manchester United into the quarterfinals of the Champions League at the expense of Paris Saint-Germain.
Rashford, 21, kept his cool to score from the spot in the 94th minute to seal a 3-1 win at Parc des Princes as United made history by becoming the first team to progress after losing the first leg 2-0 at home.
Romelu Lukaku scored twice in the first half either side of Juan Bernat's equaliser for PSG but it was Rashford's penalty that was decisive, awarded by VAR after Presnel Kimpembe had handled Diogo Dalot's speculative effort.

"Of course there's always doubts he would miss," Solskjaer told BT Sport. "I was in the Champions League with Molde, we had a penalty in the last minute and my player missed and we went out so there are always doubts.
"Normally Paul [Pogba] takes the penalties, but Rashford he is 21, a lot of pressure on the boy, no nerves, he's fearless."
With Pogba suspended -- one of 10 senior players unavailable -- the responsibility for the penalty fell to Rashford, who had earlier set up Lukaku's second goal of the night with a stinging strike that was fumbled by Gianluigi Buffon. It was Rashford's first penalty for United but he made no mistake, smashing the ball high to Buffon's right to cap a remarkable comeback.
"I think it was just about keeping a cool head," Rashford told BT Sport. That's what you practice for. I wanted to take it. "Those moments are the moments we live for, and we want to come out of them smiling after.
"Everything seemed to be against us but we're used to surviving these moments and we proved that again. We keep pushing and bettering ourselves."
Solskjaer was already heavy favourite to land the United manager's role permanently after a stunning start and victory over PSG will only cement the feeling that he will get the job sooner rather than later. But asked afterwards whether there was any news about his future, the Norwegian stuck to the script.
"No, no," he said. "We wait until the summer, see what happens."
