Confident: Samuel Eto'o (left) reckons United will be nervous of conceding an away goal

He believes Sir Alex Ferguson's side will be nervous of conceding an away goal and claims they will unable to score twice on what proposes to be a dramatic night of football.

"We have the players and the talent to win in any stadium and I'm convinced that if we play like we did at the Nou Camp in the first leg, it will be impossible for us to fail to reach the final," Eto'o told the Daily Mirror.

"La Liga has gone for us and United will be damaged by their defeat at Chelsea, which is only positive for us.

"But more importantly, United know that if we score then they have to score twice - and I think that will be impossible for them. It will make them nervous every time we go forward."
