Marcelo Bielsa’s side did come up against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team in the summer as they were hammered 4-0 in a pre-season friendly.
Tonight’s tie against Arsenal is the first time the two clubs will meet since the famous clash between the two back in 2012.
Thierry Henry scored the only goal of the game in the 1-0 for the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium, in what was his first game back at the club after he left in 2012.
Fans were quick to laud the 27-year-old after his comments on being able to beat the current United side as they took to Twitter to react.
Here is a selection of tweets from the Elland Road faithful:
