"It has to be a perfect performance to win with two goals against such a good team away from home,” he said.
"So for us it's not about away goals, we just need to score two more than them and when it happens, how it happens, if we concede two we need to score four.
“It would be good not to concede first, because that makes it less difficult.”
"They're getting players back as well. I think we hit them last time when they were struggling a little bit and since then they've played really, really well.”

But United will still be without three of their key players Marcus Rashford (back), Scott McTominay (knee) and Paul Pogba (ankle).
"Of course, we've lost Scott and Marcus since that game, so we're a little bit lighter in the playing department, but we can't just defend.
“We have to go out there and try to keep the ball and run after the ball, which isn't easy because they are one of the best pressing teams.”
Defender Axel Tuanzebe is still out of action through injury while Eric Bailly could make start the game on the bench after appearing in under-23 action last week.
