LONDON: Braga manager Jose Peseiro claims his minnows are not to be messed around with and do not fear Manchester United when they clash in a Champions League Group H match at Old Trafford tomorrow (2:45am), reported Daily Star.

Peseiro’s (pic) side are  third in the standings in Portugal's elite division but were taken to extratime in a Portuguese Cup win over Leixoes last Friday.

But Braga are unbeaten in their last seven away games in Europe, boast an in-form striker in Eder, and knocked out Udinese in the Champions League play-offs this season.

They also have some pedigree after going all the way to the Europa League final in 2011, and Peseiro warned the Red Devils not to take them lightly.

“We are not to be messed around with. United do not scare us. We go into every match looking to win. Our main goal in the Champions League is reaching the round of 16," said Peseiro.

“The top two places give you access to it, but nobody fights for second place. We have the experience and are ready to play with a four-day interval," he said.
