Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez wasn't shy about dishing out praise to Erik ten Hag in the build-up to this week's eagerly anticipated Europa League showdown with Manchester United.
Xavi's side headed to Old Trafford off the back of a 2-2 draw at the Nou Camp last week knowing they would need to outwit a team that has made significant progress under a new manager in recent months.
With that in mind, Xavi was under no illusions about the challenge that was in store. He openly lauded Ten Hag's man-management skills and highlighted how the Dutchman has been able to get some of United's most important players firing again during his impressive tenure.
