They are now back on it. Long-term you know they are going to be there,\u201d he told reporters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Grouping the Merseyside club with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City, he added: \u201cLet&#8217;s be honest, you hate losing to any of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cOne of those four will always be a thorn in our flesh. They are our immediate challengers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHistory doesn&#8217;t change. No matter where it comes from, somewhere along the line we are going to be faced with a big challenge from one of those four great clubs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span>Sir Alex has had to face numerous questions on the topic of toppling Champions League holders Barcelona since his side lost 3-1 in the final in May.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Spanish club are widely considered to have one of the best sides in history, but the United manager is confident Pep Guardiola&#8217;s can be beaten.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cBarcelona are the team of the moment,\u201d said Sir Alex. \u201cIt is a cycle. It is the same players. They can dominate any game and could have probably done that to any other team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cBut it is not the kind of thing that makes you think, &#8216;let&#8217;s not bother with European football anymore, we are never going to beat Barcelona&#8217;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cManchester United\u00a0are bigger than that.
