Man Utd lost to Barcelona 1-0 in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final at Old Trafford but still have a hope of progressing.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was coy about his post-match discussion with Barcelona captain Lionel Messi following Manchester United's Champions League defeat.
Messi was somewhat subdued in his second appearance at Old Trafford, where he was left with a bloodied nose following a robust first-half challenge from Chris Smalling.
