United have only ever beaten Barcelona....

United and Barcelona have met seven times in the UCL with the draw dominating the fixture

Four of the seven matches between the two have ended all square

United have just one win, 1-0 at Old Trafford in the second leg of the 2008 Semi finbal after a 0-0 draw at the Nou Camp 

Barcelona have two wins, one was the 2009 final in Rome where they were 2-0 winners

The other Barca win was back in the 94/95 season when they thrashed United 4-0 at the Nou Camp and in their defence that day was a certain Pep Guardiola
