Celta boss Eduardo Berizzo hopes Man United's Spain record 'stays as it is'

This is a modal window.

The FC crew expect Manchester United's injury woes to play a role in their Europa League semi-final clash against Celta Vigo.

VIGO, Spain -- Celta Vigo coach Eduardo Berizzo has told Manchester United they have earned the respect of his club ahead of Thursday's Europa League semifinal first-leg but insists they will not fear Jose Mourinho's team.

Celta, currently lying mid-table in La Liga, will contest their first major European semifinal against United at Estadio de Balaidos.

The Premier League side -- three-time European champions -- travel to Spain's Atlantic coast aiming to improve on a record that has seen them win just two of 22 previous visits to the country in order to boost their prospects of reaching the final in Stockholm on May 24.
