Barcelona defender Eric Garcia has been discussing the Spanish side’s chances against Manchester United in the Europa League.

The Reds were drawn against the Catalan giants for a play-off tie, with both teams fighting for a place in the Europa League round of 16.

Speaking to journalist Gerard Romero via Twitch, Garcia said: “Manchester United are a team under construction with very interesting players. It will be a very good match.”

The game itself will be about two historic clubs, who are right now not in the best of times, but it still promises to be a great game on paper.

Barcelona have lost only once in their past 10 matches against Premier League opposition, so they will be confident going into the game.
