Manchester United defeated Barcelona 3-1 in a friendly in Silicon Valley on Saturday.

United is entering their third season without Alex Ferguson and figure to be putting their strongest side on the field.

"With a coach like Van Gaal and the kind of players they have," said Luis Enrique. "It is a team that are going for everything.

"In a year a lot of things can happen. We came off the back of a year without a trophy and we won the treble. United could do the same, it's a great club.

"I spoke to [Van Gaal] for five minutes. It was a pleasure. He is a great person and one of the best coaches that I ever had. I have great memories of him."
