Manchester United host Barcelona in the all-important second leg of their heavyweight Europa League play-off tie tonight, with drama almost guaranteed.
Last week’s 2-2 draw was the sort of European under-the-lights thriller usually reserved for much later in the season as these two giants of the game battle over a spot in the last-16 of the continent’s secondary club competition.
Another high-quality affair is being predicted when they reconvene this evening in a blockbuster clash that has all the hallmarks of going the distance.
