United’s Argentine defender was featured on MUTV for the match’s build-up, where he unsurprisingly drew confidence from the club’s 2-0 win over Paris Saint Germain.

“Look what happened with Paris Saint-Germain,” Rojo told www.manutd.com

“We went over there, apparently without any chance whatsoever, people were saying it was a given that PSG were going through and then everyone saw what then happened.

”You should never write anyone off out of hand. Of course, Barcelona have huge experience of playing in lots of finals and semi-finals in the Champions League for a good few years now. But we have our own strengths too, and we have to know how to make best use of them.

“Of course, they will be favourites to go through but we are going to give everything we’ve possibly got to ensure that we go through.

The 26-year-old from Argentina’s La Plata added went on to say that United’s famous win against PSG in the last 16 restored the club’s respect.

“For me, after Paris, everything changed, I reckon that all the teams in Europe are now starting to look at us differently and to show us a little bit more respect because this is a great club with so much history and I reckon that in these games that counts for a lot. And I don’t think there’s any team out there who really wants to come to Old Trafford to play United.

“In fact I’m sure of that, so we have a lot of things in our favour, like being at home in front of our own fans to give us the chance to take a lead over there,” Rojo concluded.
