UEFA Champions League: Diego Forlan Predicts Outcome of Manchester United vs Barcelona

The prolific goal scorer, who was regarded as one of the greatest Uruguayan players of all time, has tipped Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side to beat Barcelona when both teams clash in the quarter-final first-leg tie of UEFA Champions League on April 10 at Old Trafford.

The former Manchester United striker believes the Red Devils are capable of springing a surprise against the La Liga champions.

The three-time champions reached the tournament quarter final after defeating Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 in the round of 16 second-leg encounter, while Barcelona saw off Lyon 5-1.

“Well Man United will have a different game against Barcelona,” Forlan told Sky Sports.

“But they are a really good team and in football, you never know what’s going to happen.”

“Man United have a really good game in front, a difficult one. But, they have a great team with good players.

“United do really well at home, they could have a good possibility for the elimination of Barcelona.”
