Barcelona midfielder, Philipe Coutinho, has said they must be aware of the threat offered by Manchester United’s Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku, when they travel to Old Trafford this week.
The Spanish champions face United on Wednesday in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, with the reverse fixture taking place six days later.
Coutinho knows the Red Devils well from his days at Liverpool and is fully aware of where the strengths in their side lie.
“It’s complicated to describe what you have to do to win against this team.
“For a start, Manchester United have a great goalkeeper and huge players in attack.
“Pogba and Lukaku are capable of hurting any defence and Pogba, in particular, is a great player.
“We will have to be very careful to stop him because he can generate a lot of problems for us and I think the duel with [Gerard] Pique will be important in both matches,” he said according to the Daily Mirror.
