Why United have reasons to be worried about Messi

Pundits have opined that Man United have got reasons to be worried about the threat posed by Argentine international Lionel Messi ahead of their Champions League second leg clash at the Nuo Camp.

The Red Devils have been underdogs since the first leg and that is still unchanged despite the fact that it did not reflect on the 1-0 scoreline at the Old Trafford.

It is already suggested that the Red Devils could pose a surprise when they storm Spain as they have done that already in the round of 16 where they defeated Ligue 1 outfit Paris Saint Germain in Paris despite suffering a 2-0 defeat at the Old Trafford in the first leg.

However, Analysts have argued that Lionel Messi has been angered by the Red Devils in the first leg and that could play a part in his performance when he gets on the pitch in front of his home fans.

It is claimed that the encounter he had with Chris Smalling destabilized him and he could be set to come out for revenge in the second leg.

However, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hoping to make an impression in the game, now that he has been handed the job on a permanent deal.
