Raphael Varane confirms what Erik ten Hag has changed at Man Utd in warning to teammates

Raphael Varane says Manchester United cannot afford to get caught up in the emotion of Thursday night's epic European showdown with Barcelona.

Former Real Madrid defender Varane knows what it takes to beat Barca, having faced them 21 times in his career, winning seven and drawing six. Ahead of the second leg, former France defender Varane said: “I think in the last months we've grown a lot.

“I think we're playing with more confidence and the atmosphere will be electric against Barcelona. We have to manage our emotions, stay calm and believe. We improved a lot already as a team and the next stage is to beat teams like Barcelona. It's a great challenge for us and a great opportunity.
