'Coming for you' - Cristiano Ronaldo fans send message to Barcelona ahead of Manchester United play-off

Manchester United supporters and Cristiano Ronaldo fans have sent a word of warning to Barcelona ahead of the Europa League play-off tie in February.

Erik ten Hag's side failed to beat Real Sociedad by the required two-goal margin that would have seen them become group winners in their last Europa League match. United now have to take part in a two-legged play-off in February to progress to the round of 16.

The Reds knew they were going to come up against one of the eight clubs that finished third in their Champions League group, with their next opponents now being confirmed. United will have to beat Barcelona over two legs if Ten Hag is to emulate the club's success in 2017.

The tie will see Ronaldo come up against Barcelona yet again, as he looks to extend his incredible scoring record against the club. The 37-year-old has scored 20 times in 34 appearances against the Catalan giants - no player has netted against them more than the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.

The last time Ronaldo came up against Barca was when he was playing for Juventus in 2020, with the United forward scoring a brace during a 3-0 win at the Nou Camp.

Ahead of United's Europa League play-off against Barcelona, fans of both the club and Ronaldo sent a message to the Spanish side, as they took to social media to share their excitement ahead of the mouthwatering clash.
