Two Man United Players have Attracted Philippe Coutinho’s Attention

DBasia.news –  Philippe Coutinho, Barcelona’s attacking midfielder, analyzed two Manchester United players who he said were dangerous. The two players are: Romelu Lukaku and Paul Pogba.

Barcelona will travel to Manchester United’s headquarters in the first leg of the 2018-2019 Champions League quarter-final at Old Trafford Stadium, Thursday (11/4). Despite appearing more promising this season, Barcelona never looked at the Red Devils.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side showed an unyielding mentality this season. For example, despite being knocked out in the first leg, Manchester United were able to eject Paris Saint-Germain.

For that, Coutinho asked Barcelona to be alert throughout the game. The Brazilian said Pogba and Lukaku could bring nightmare for the Blaugrana.

Barcelona have good capital when they travel to Manchester. Lionel Messi and his friends won a 2-0 victory against the strongest enemy in LaLiga, Atletico Madrid.

“It’s quite difficult to express what you have to do to win the match against Manchester United. For example, Manchester United have a great goalkeeper and a myriad of star players in attack,” Coutinho said as reported by the Mirror.

“Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku were able to complicate any defense. In particular, Pogba is an extraordinary player,” he added.

“We have to be careful to stop him as he can cause a lot of problems. I think the duel with Gerard Pique will be very crucial in the two matches.”

Coutinho believes the winner of the match will be determined by the attacking line performance of each team. Coutinho is optimistic, Barcelona has a better bang.

“For me, the attacking sector will be key. Anyone who wins the battle on that line will go to the semifinals. I am sure Barcelona can do it. If playing normally, we can win at Old Trafford,” Coutinho said.
