Erik ten Hag admits that Manchester United's Europa League clash with Barcelona is deserving of a grander stage as both clubs look to bring back the glory days.
Two of Europe's biggest names are more accustomed to meeting each other in the Champions League, but meet in UEFA's junior competition at the Nou Camp on Thursday for a place in the last 16.
'Both clubs are in the Europa League and both have the ambition to be in the Champions League, and impact the Champions League to go beyond the group stage,' said Ten Hag.
