Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho has hinted that his team are ready to face Russian side, CSKA Moscow and will try to win the game on Wednesday night.
United players landed in Moscow on Tuesday and a number of their players posted the obligatory ‘squad arrives’ picture.

Meanwhile, Mourinho who was quizzed at a pre-match press conference revealed that his intention is to win the game despite admitting that CSKA are a strong side.
“This is the best CSKA Moscow side I have faced.
“We are going to have a team with quality, with balance, to try to win the match which is our objective.”
The Portuguese trainer when he was asked about how much his side will miss Marouane Fellaini, and other key men, in the midfield battle with CSKA on Wednesday night, said.
“The solutions are not many. We are trying not to focus on individual battles in specific areas on the pitch. We are going to have a team with quality and balance to try to win the match.
“That’s our objective.”
Mourinho was then asked for his thoughts on avoiding an FA ban after he was sent off in Manchester United’s 1-0 win against Southampton.
“If I am not punished it is because there were no reasons for the sending off,” he said.
“I am happy that was recognised and that I can be doing my work normally against Crystal Palace. That is enough for me.”
