The Red Devils are set to face the Spanish team on Thursday evening (16 February) at the Nou Camp.
Ahead of the game, Barcelona coach Xavi described how impressed he has been by the way Erik ten Hag has transformed United and helped turn Marcus Rashford into “one of the most dangerous players” in Europe.
“He changes things offensively, defensively, everyone’s working very well, so it’s a tough rival for us and he’s a very interesting coach,” Xavi said of his rival.
