Graeme Souness believes Manchester United will find it tough against Barcelona in their Europa League knockout play-off tie, following Monday’s draw.
The two clubs will meet in the competition for the first time after United finished second in their group and Barcelona dropped down from the Champions League. It’s the second time the Spaniards have been relegated to the Europa League in as many seasons.
Despite their underwhelming European exploits this season, Barcelona came out of the weekend top of La Liga. And Souness believes Xavi’s squad could prove difficult for United, who have lost to their opponents in their last four previous meetings.
