Man Utd prediction
Jose Mourinho has delivered his prediction for tonight’s Champions League quarter-final first leg tie between Manchester United and Barcelona.
The former Red Devils boss believes Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side can pull off a major shock and dump Barcelona out of the competition.
“Manchester United this season was capable to win against Juventus and against PSG why not to do it against Barcelona?" Mourinho told RT.
"But Barca will be aware of that, will respect United and Old Trafford and Messi will want to leave his footprint in a mythical stadium," he added.
