MORE: Defeat to PSG ‘a reality check’ for Man United, admits Solskjaer
United have it all to do when they travel to Paris for the second-leg in a fortnight, where they will be without key midfielder Paul Pogba after his red card at Old Trafford.And, asked if he believes the tie is already over, Brown told the Sports Breakfast: Yeah.I think they would need to get an early goal, and then anything can happen.But PSG are very good at home, so its going to be very difficult.Two-time Champions League winner Brown believes Tuesdays clash came too soon for Solskjaers rejuvenated side.United were outclassed for most of the match, while Angel Di Maria a player widely considered a flop at Old Trafford following his failed spell at the club starred with both assists in a lively game for the Argentine.Angel Di Maria starred against former club Man United2

And Brown admits they struggled to deliver the same quality they have shown in the Premier League against the Ligue 1 giants.I just think yesterday was just a bit too much, said the former full-back.Theyve been playing so well and the occasion yesterday and the expectation just got to them a bit.Lets remember, PSG have been building this team for a while now, theyve been building this team to win the Champions League. Were playing well and weve got ourselves back into the Premier League and were still in the FA Cup, but I just think this game came a bit too early for us.It was a big occasion where we couldnt quite maintain the quality.Asked if he believes Solskjaer is still the right man for the full-time job, Brown added: I certainly do. I dont think anyone could have come in and done what hes done.
