Manchester United will square off against Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League this week, and word on social media is that many fans are giving the Red Devils no chance of progression. Have you seen the reactions on social media?
All eyes will be on the two European giants tonight, but the narrative on social media regarding the tie seems to be one of United facing an uphill battle against Lionel Messi and company.
With the Argentine in fine form one again this season, fans on social media have been buzzing at the thought of the diminutive attacker gracing Old Trafford with his presence.
As far as banter is concerned, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling's names have been thrown in the mix, with many feeling that they have a tough night ahead against the likes of Messi, Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho.
Here are some of the funnier reactions ahead of the quarter-final tie:

Expecting Phil Jones to show Lionel Messi just how a world-class gurning champion plays the game at the highest level. Messi won't know what to do. No one in La Liga gives him this myriad of facial defending. #MUFC #MUNFCB pic.twitter.com/p2m7QCtZbE
