It did not take long before the Ligue 1 side 2-0 advantage from their first-leg tie came crumbling as Romelu Lukaku rounded Gianluigi Baffon to score and put United in the lead.
Bernat responded with an equaliser for PSG, tapping in a rebound from Kylian Mbappe shot in 12th minutes and Lukaku tapped in rebound from Marcus Rashford's shot for United second goal in 30th minutes.
PSG could have made away with victory with brilliant finish from Di Maria but was disallowed after VAR ruled the Argentine was in offside position.
Whilst it seemed pretty much the game will go the French side's way in injury time, Presnel Kimpembe committed a needless hand ball as United's Diogo Dalot's shot caught his arm in the box and Marcus Rashford converted the spot-kick to give United the much-needed victory.
"It was fantastic. The belief in the boys was what we hope for," says Solskjaer expressing his delight to lead United to their first quarter-finals im five years.
"It was a great start, we set out a plan to get the first goal but didn't expect it aftet two minutes," he added.
