CSKA's Samuel Sends Warning To Man Utd Defenders Ahead Of Champions League Clash
Published: September 25, 2017
Nigeria international striker Aaron Samuel has sent a warning to Manchester United defenders ahead of the UEFA Champions League meeting between CSKA Moscow and the English Premier League side in the Russian capital on Wednesday night.
Unarguably, the most impressive result on the opening day of the Champions League was CSKA Moscow's 2-1 away win at Benfica, and Samuel was keen to stress that they are ready to spoil Manchester United's party despite the top stars on the team.
''We have been preparing for the game against Manchester United and we are prepared enough, it is a very big game to us and we are looking forward to Wednesday,'' said Aaron Samuel to allnigeriasoccer.com after Monday's training session.
''I am not scared of facing their central defenders, with my experience and my desire towards the game.
''There is no big deal playing against them, the pitch is the same and they don't have two heads, though they are more experienced and are more exposed.
''Manchester United are a big team, we are going to be at our best against them.''
Samuel made his debut in the group stage of the Champions League against Benfica on September 12.
