Nobody cares about Chelsea and don't raise their game. We are Manchester United so no matter what our form or team everyone raises their game against us.Believe guys, Chelsea did it in 2012, so why can't we?

Have they watched us at all in the last 6 years? When was the last time we scored a set piece?We absolutely have to attack them tonight, we'll get pummelled if we sit back and let them play football. We have to score enough goals tonight to make the away tie a formality, that's the only way we're going through.
I'm going 4-0 to United. It is the Theatre of Dreams after all...This is the first real test. Let's see how we deal with Messi.
It's possible a lot of continental teams just play us down, especially thinking Ole doesn't have a really smart tactical view on the game etc... I so hope Ole proves them wrong and beats them.
I think they're just trying to say we're physical and tall? Apart from that I have no idea what they're on about. It does feel like they're taking pity on us at the moment though with Pique saying things like 'United are the biggest team in England'.
More of this please people.
I think we're in for one of those great European nights that Old Trafford is so famous for. Barca won't be able to live with us.
4-1 to United.Get ready for a 2003 Ronaldo style humbling. Messi is playing as well as he ever has been.
I already touched on it earlier. We get bullied from corners and set piece but it's just lazy cliche associated with English clubs. Ronaldo was moaning because we had the audacity to beat Juve from set piece-probably the only time we scored from one. Valverd said we're a 'powerful' and 'physical' team. They've already setting it up as battle between beautiful attacking football vs defensive ugly football. Get ready for some salty tears if we turned them over.
As long as Old Trafford is rocking and we're attacking, Barcelona won't be able to handle the occasion.Looking forward to this game with expectation and trepdiation in almost equal measures, but the prospect of it going badly wrong just means I then think about the alternative, that United got battered by PSG in both legs in the last round and United fans are sitting watching all the QFs on TV trying to work out who they do/don't want to win this competition.
Under Mourinho United wouldn't, in all probability, be in the QFs.
Getting in to the SFs would clearly be a huge and unexpected bonus, but at the same time, the prospect of being soundly beaten in both legs with the tie even over before the second leg isn't a nice one.
Tonight, United need a huge performance and maybe Barcelona having a bit of an off night combined with a rub of the green so let's hope it turns out that way.
You have to be in it to win it.Can only be positively surprised in this I guess.. Not sure Im for an all out attacking approach, but I hope we press and play direct.
Brain says 0-1, heart says 2-0
That's the reputation we have thanks to Jose but PSG haven't helped with the amount of moaning about our football. I'm not bothered anyway as long as we win!
Cannot compare the two. Totally different potential to influence the game.So Pogba shouldn't play either then?
He lose the ball much more than Jesse, and work much less defensively.
Think they'll both start in fact so here's hoping they both play well.
I'm hoping for an atmosphere similar to when Real Madrid last visited in 2013. Old Trafford was on absolutely rocking that night.
Shame about the result, though.1-2 to Barca is my gut feeling.
This, we score first and then get overpowered by them and at the end feel lucky they only scored 2
You really think Barcelona players would not be able to handle a rocking Old Trafford? There isn't a stadium in the world that would intimidate them.Whatever the score, I hope we put in a performance that shows the players want to give everything they can when playing for United and us the fans.
Over two legs that may still not be enough, but that's the minimum I expect.
Can't wait, if a player in a United shirt cannot motivate himself for this match, he should take up Morris Dancing instead.
Jesus. Can we have a separate match day thread for the miserable ones? It's a big CL night and we're not exactly Huddersfield Town. Why do you guys even watch football if you can't believe in your team even before a ball has been kicked?Nervous, BUT CANNOT WAIT FOR KICKOFF. C’mon Reds, c’mon!
Have you seen some of the hidings away in Europe they've had over the last few years?
Pretty sure the current Barcelona team have seen it all before, for club and country, a great atmosphere will probably help our players. but would be surprised if rattled the Barcelona players.UNITED

Score prediction:
Manchester United 2-0 Barcelona
Goalscorer:
Rashford X2Let's have a right go at these feckers and get the crowd going, the lack of confidence in here gives me good hope for a good result. The over confidence of the PSG game has hopefully hit home. That barca defense can been hurt if the tempo is right.
Mata on the right would kill
my hope of a result even further, absolutely pointless out there.
I hope that joint is coming this way next.Apparently this is the leaked team to start against Barca.
De Gea - Young, Smalling, Lindelof, Shaw - Dalot, Fred, McTominay, Pogba - Rashford, Lukaku.
Quietly happy with that. 4-4-2 whilst defending, 4-3-3 when going forward. Pretty much the best we could've hoped for."Leaked team"
Here is the team the 'leaker' the MEN uses has posted:

Note: His leaked lineups have been rubbish since Ole took charge so wouldn't read too much into it.Why wouldn't Martial start?Barcelona has never won at Old trafford,i think they might do it tonight.
Our best players is in poor form,our home form is poor and we are missing players.
This could get ugly,i just hope our players dont freeze and play their heart out tonight and give 110%!Getting excited now!Changed from my 11/11 to that leaking fraud's 9/11.
Presume because he has put Dalot and Young in the side. Not enough space in the side for a Martial.
You missed my point. I think OT will be rocking and I think we can win. I don't think the atmosphere will get to Barcelona.
Dalot - Fred - McTominay - Pogba in a midfield 4?
Surely that's not the setup we're going with.- Status
