(Reuters) - Manchester United and Barcelona needed a reboot but are now in a good position to make each other better, United coach Erik Ten Hag said ahead of the first leg of their Europa League knockout-round clash on Thursday.
The teams have met regularly in the Champions League over the years and Ten Hag does not see much difference in the level of play between his side and the Spanish LaLiga leaders.
"I think it's exciting to face each other tomorrow night because it will help both clubs. We both are in the right direction, is a good taste for both teams, from challenges you get better." "Barca is very difficult, they are playing their best football in many years, you see their way of playing and the influence of Johan Cruyff," said Ten Hag.
