Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag expressed his expectations before the second leg of the round of 16 of the Europa League against Barcelona at Old Trafford.
In the first meeting at Camp Nou, it was 2:2. However, as there is no longer an away goal rule, things are at a beginning, and both teams are starting from scratch.
When you play against a team as good as Barcelona, you have to play at your best. Otherwise, you have no chance,” said Ten Hag.
The Red Devils have a busy schedule this month, and they will have the chance to win their first trophy since 2017 when they take on Newcastle in the League Cup final this weekend. They trail the Gunners by five points in the Premier League, while in the FA Cup they face West Ham.
