After a 0-0 draw in the first leg in France, Marseille travel to Manchester aiming to cause a shock to qualify for the last eight, and Diawara knows the second leg will be nothing like the first game three weeks ago.
“We will have to show solidarity, be strong,” he told La Provence des Sports.
“It will be a totally different match compared to the first leg. At home they score a lot of goals, we will have to make sure that they are not able to do so.
“We will not let anything go.”
Midfielder Benoit Cheyrou, meanwhile, admitted his opinion that Nani is one of the best players in the world but suggested he expects the Red Devils to be able to cope, even if Sir Alex Ferguson doesn’t start with the winger from the off.
“He is one of the best players in the world,” the midfielder said, as quoted by the club’s official website.
“At the same time, Manchester United have enough resources, and the player who steps in for him will be of great quality.”
The Portuguese winger had been expected to miss the game after picking up an injury against Liverpool following a tough challenge from Jamie Carragher, but United manager Sir Alex Ferguson declared on Monday that Nani would be in the squad for the clash.
