Bayern Munich star, Arjen Robben says Manchester United are not invincible and believes that his team will beat them to progress into the semifinals of the Champions League.
Bayern Munich are meeting Manchester United on Tuesday in the first leg of Champions League quarterfinal and the Dutchman says that Manutd is a one-man team that depends only on Wayne Rooney.
“This Manchester United team is not invincible," Robben told the New Kerara
"If the press want to see them as favourites then that suits us because all the pressure will be on them.
"I have watched them on television many times recently and their team is certainly not as powerful as it was in the last two years."
He added: "Rooney has been phenomenal this season.
"But at the moment he seems to be their only solution: What about if he doesn't function?
"He has become the star of the side since the sale of Ronaldo last summer but we will be prepared to stop him.
"They are almost a one-man team so our defenders will give him 180 minutes of non-stop distraction."
The two sides met in 1999 Champions League final when Bayern Munich were booted out by goals from substitutes Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjae and Robben says he is ready to punish the Red Devils and give supporters the joy of getting through to the semi-finals.
"Our own supporters still have memories of that final in Barcelona," the 26-year-old winger said.
"And I have been made well aware of how terrible that moment was for the club.
"They are after revenge but they also remember very well the success they have had in this competition in past years.
"I would love to give them the joy of getting through to the semi-finals."
