The Red Devils had chief scout Marcel Bout in the stands when Mbappe and Bakayoko scored for the French Ligue 1 side against Manchester City in a Champions League round of 16 second leg tie on Wednesday, March 15, according to ESPNFC sources.
"We managed to establish ourselves in their half of the pitch, we didn't let them play. Almost every chance was turned into a goal," he said.
"I think it was a real blow to their morale when they went in 2-0 down at half-time. I don't think they expected that."
Portugal international Bernardo Silva said: "At 2-1, we didn't falter. That's what has been our strength this season, we're not afraid to play."
"Even at 3-2 in Manchester, we continued playing and that's also why we conceded five goals. But this evening, we're very happy. Thanks to Bakayoko for taking us into the quarter-final."
"It's a magical evening. If there is one very positive thing this season, it's that we have a group. When a player is missing, the replacements come into the team without us losing any quality.
"Now we'll see who we'll play against. There are only fantastic teams left. We dream of going beyond the quarter-finals," he added.
