Man Utd vs Barcelona in pictures: The best photos and highlights LIVE from tonight's Champions League match

Manchester United will be stretched to their limits tonight at Old Trafford as they welcome Barcelona for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.

Few would have predicted United to reach this stage after losing the opening game of their round-of-16 tie 2-0 at home to PSG, but a stunning 3-1 comeback win in Paris send Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side through to the last eight of the competition.

However, United fans' dreams of going all the way this season were dealt a dose of reality after being drawn against LaLiga giants Barcelona.

Lionel Messi is in sensational form for the Spanish champions-elect, and the likes of Paul Pogba and David De Gea will have to be at their absolute best to ensure United have something to take to Camp Nou for the second leg.

Scroll through the gallery above for the best pictures and highlights from Old Trafford...
