Man United v Atalanta: What has been said?

Man United midfielder Nemanja Matic: "When you are a kid and you play football, you dream about playing in the Champions League.

"I think that is, for every kid, the same. When you hear that song before the game, it's something special.

"The Champions League is the competition where you can compare your qualities with the best teams in Europe.

"You also have to travel abroad, to Italy, Spain and to other countries, and that's a good thing. You can see the different ways of football - the Spanish League plays a bit different, the Premier League is different, the Italian league is different.

"In all these games, you get more experience and can improve as a player."
