Manchester United midfielder Fred believes defender Raphael Varane‘s and midfielder Casemiro’s experience will be vital in the Europa League.
The Red Devils take on Barcelona over two legs.
Ahead of the first leg in Spain on Thursday, Fred stated that Varane and Casemiro having faced Barca many times with Real Madrid will help United.
Fred, speaking to United’s club website, said: “I think both, Rapha [Varane] and Case [Casemiro], [David] De Gea as well, have a lot of games against Barcelona.
“So, we have a lot of players that have good experience, so I think it can be a difference inside the pitch.
“Like I say, everyone will try our best to win this game.”
“We expect it is a difficult game, everyone knows about Barcelona, we need [to be] careful, but it’s [the] Europa League, we need to win both games and we need to pass this phase,” Fred added.
“Both teams are improving right now, constructing good things.
“So, I think the fans can expect a big game, both teams trying to play, both teams trying to score goals and I hope, in the end, we win.”
