Barcelona striker Ferran Torres has warned his Barcelona teammates that they will have to race “like there is no tomorrow” to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The two European giants will meet on Thursday in the second leg of the Europa League play-off round.
Both teams played out to a heart-pounding 2-2 draw at Camp Nou last week, and everything is on the line at the Theater of Dreams.
Both sides need to win to advance to the next round of the competition.
Torres will no doubt be familiar with what needs to be done to get a win at Old Trafford from his time at Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
In recent games, United’s home ground has become an impregnable fortress. United have won 14 of their last 15 games in all competitions at home.
Torres said before the long-awaited game: “We will have to run like there is no tomorrow. It will be a game of patience and knowing how to suffer”.
“The Premier League is a very physical league, it’s true, but we have a lot of talent and that’s also important.”
“We go with everything and above all with young people willing to conquer the world.”

In the 2-2 draw, Torres started on the bench and only came on as a substitute.
As the Blaugrana cruised to a 2-0 victory over Cádiz at the weekend, Torres put in a brilliant performance that earned him praise from his coach, Xavi Hernández.
A report from Spain conveyed that Torres’ performance against Cádiz has put him in frame to start against United on Thursday.
