“He’s an exceptional manager and it will always be a tough place to go,” United sporting director Dan Ashworth said.
“We know that the team will be well trained and that the game against Rangers at home will also be interesting for us.”
Ashworth welcomed the new format which, like the Champions League, sees all 36 teams take part in one league.
“It brings something new,” he said. “Nobody knows exactly what it will be like, but what seems good is that there is danger in every game until the end, because the position you occupy in that group is fundamental.”
