Bruno Fernandes says captaining Manchester United is success for him, assuring to help the team in every way to clinch a respectable scoreline against Paris Saint Germain.

The loss of Harry Maguire to injury has given the Portuguese an opportunity to lead the Red Devils in their Champions League opening fixture on Tuesday night.

Bruno has impressed since arriving the Premier League in January and has established himself as one of the best midfielders in world football despite results not favouring the Manchester club.

He was fundamental in the Red Devils 4-1 victory at the Saint James Park on Saturday and although the armband, he revealed caught him by surprise yet he will give his best for the team.

"I was not expecting this," said Fernandes. "I've known the same time as you.

"For me, it's an honour that I will be captain of my team-mates and of course being captain of Manchester United is an important achievement for me.

"But I think the captain is everyone - everyone needs to help, everyone needs to be a leader in their way.

"The leadership is different in every player, so tomorrow it will not be about me but about the team.

"Leading the team is every day - it's in the training ground, every training, every game. I think everyone is doing their job, their own job, to lead the team in the way they think is best."

Manchester United will be without captain, Harry Maguire, Edinson Cavani and Mason Greenwood and three other including Eric Bailey and Jesse Lingard when they take on PSG at the Parc De France.

Cavani ended his 14-days’ mandatory quarantine last Sunday and joined his teammates to train yet the manager believes it is risky to play the forward so soon and would be expected to make his debut in the Chelsea game during the weekend.

"We hope the players won't be away for too long. Edinson needs a few more days training before we can think about the weekend," Solskjaer said in Paris on Monday.

"Hopefully the same with Harry, Eric and Mason as well, but we're not sure about that."

Regarding Greenwood's injury, Solskjaer said: "It's just a niggle. As young as he is, we don't want to take any chances with him. Hopefully, by the weekend, he'll be fine again."
