Manchester United fan predicts every aspect of PSG win six minutes before kick off

You’ll want to catch his take on Sunday’s game with Arsenal…

Manchester United beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 thanks to two goals from Romelu Lukaku and a late Marcus Rashford penalty, a scenario which one fan had already seen coming.

Timmy Chin reckoned the Red Devils would overturn their two-goal deficit with a brace from the Belgian forward either side of an equaliser – provided on the night by Juan Bernat – before sealing the away goals win in the last minute via Rashford.

After the final whistle, both Diogo Dalot and Victor Lindelöf were among the thousands picking up on the viral tweet with the Swedish defender telling Chin he “should predict every game”.

And that’s exactly what JOE have asked him to do, contacting the United supporter to get his expert opinion on Sunday’s trip to Arsenal.

“I know it’s a long shot, but I feel it’s a high scoring game,” he told us. “Both teams have lethal attacking powers and defence wise are not the best. Going for a 4-2 win for United with Lukaku grabbing a brace again.”

Chin has been a fan of the team since 1999, when his uncle bought him a Red Devils poster as a sixth birthday present. From that day on he was hooked and David Beckham quickly became his favourite player.

He described the feeling of having United players respond to his tweet as: “A dream come true, honestly.

“I never thought in a million years my tweet would’ve gotten noticed by actual Manchester United players.”
