One thing coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has ensured at Manchester United since his arrival is ensuring that his Red Devils play a fearless and attacking brand of football that has been missing since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson.

Under Mourinho, the United side was predictable and had a pattern to the game, whereas since Solskjaer’s arrival, they look revitalized with a decent blend of attack and hold-up play. Most of all, the squad is now fearless, playing with more self-belief, and the players are now enjoying their football.

The Red Devils had already pulled off a near-impossible result in the Champions League when they came back from two goals down at Old Trafford in the first leg of their clash in Round of 16 against PSG to claim the win in the dying stages of the game at the Parc des Princes in the second leg.

There is no reason to believe that Manchester United cannot repeat their heroics against Barcelona too.
