Barcelona are heavy favourites to beat Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side over two legs and progress to the last four of Europe's premier club competition over the next couple of weeks.

"We will have to be very alert", Pique started his press conference at Old Trafford alluding to Barcelona's awful record in the quarter-finals of this tournament.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Suarez wants a new contract to extend his stay at the club past 2021 as he is convinced his form this season merits it even though he is the wrong side of 30 and will be 34-years-old by the time his current contract runs out.

The French coach has made no secret of his admiration for the Manchester United midfielder and confirmed that he would be welcomed with open arms at the Santiago Bernabéu.

"You have got to be more patient in tackles, some of these players will have some tricks up their sleeves, some wise players". Luke Shaw and Ashley Young will have to be particularly vigilant with the United full-backs both a booking away from being suspended for the second leg at the Nou Camp next week. We are in a good situation and I think we are playing very well and getting good results. The penalty at the end is a big example of what can happen. "We know we have to defend well against them".

Lionel Messi will be the focus of much of United's attention at Old Trafford, although Solskjaer insisted Barca's other stars are just as risky. "It's a special game for me". I learned a lot here, not just on the pitch but off it.

"I went from being kid to an adult here, I had my first experiences as a professional and some insane experiences off the pitch". "He was one of the veterans and he helped me a lot when it came to adapting to the country and the club". Despite his lack of game time, the Spaniard says he learnt a lot during his time in Manchester.

"I like Pogba a lot..."

"At the end of his career he had injury problems but training with him you could see that he had that quality to score goals".
