The unbeaten capital club headed into the game on the back of disappointing draws against Bordeaux and Reims and, despite not looking entirely convincing at times, Javier Pastore, Angel Di Maria and Zlatan Ibrahimovic all grabbed their first league goals of the season en route to a welcome three points.

Di Maria arrived at PSG from United during the summer following a disastrous season with the Red Devils, in which the Argentina worldwide struggled for regular playing time despite being the most expensive player in Premier League history. “I’d never realised how good he is, all the moves he has, despite him being so tall”, he said.

“I don’t know how the people there will welcome me, but we won the Decima and many other titles together, and in my last match ” against Atletico Madrid ” the fans gave me a standing ovation when they knew I was leaving to go to Manchester”.

“It’s really nice here”. If I score, I won’t celebrate.

“We all have the same ambition and desire to fight for it. And I think that with the players here we can achieve it”.

“My family has felt very good here from the first day they arrived”.

In an interview with UEFA, the PSG winger said: “Yes, I missed it a lot, actually. “.

“There are no words to describe Leo”.

“We will do everything we can so as not to suffer too much in Paris”, Guingamp striker Jimmy Briand said on the club’s official website.
