Erik ten Hag has revealed the five tactical changes he made that helped Man United beat Barcelona.
The Red Devils dumped the LaLiga giants out of the Europa League with a 2-1 win at Old Trafford last night.
He said: “I emphasised the belief. It was too flat first half.
“We had our spare man, Casemiro we didn’t use enough.
“Aaron Wan-Bissaka had a lot of space on the right side, we didn’t use enough.
“I think in the pressing we could be more brave. So that is what we emphasised.
“The second was to make the sub with Antony, who brought more speed in the play and who brings belief on the pitch.”
Fighting on four fronts
Manchester United are still left in all four competitions.
The Red Devils are third in the Premier League, will contest the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, play West Ham in the FA Cup and are into the round of 16 in the Europa League.

Gunners want Shakhtar
Arsenal fans want to face unseeded team Shakhtar Donetsk in the round of 16.
The Gunners were chasing Mykhailo Mudryk in January but wouldn’t match the Ukrainian club’s asking price.
Mudryk himself looked incredibly keen to join the North London club.
That was until rivals Chelsea hijacked the deal.
The Blues signed the 22-year-old for a fee north of £80million.
An Arsenal fan said: “Shakhtar please – so we can punish them for Mudryk.”
