"They wanted to but couldn't." Henry said of the prospect of returning to Old Trafford: "It's not like Anfield, which has an incredible atmosphere, but there is some atmosphere. "It will be an important moment for them after playing Chelsea this Saturday especially knowing that playing against us won't be easy for them. "With Arsenal we played some incredible games there. It was always a pretty fight." While Barca, like United, are unbeaten in this season's Champions League campaign, their domestic league form has been woeful lately. It continued last night as Rijkaard's weakened side slumped to a tame 2-0 defeat by Deportivo La Coruna in Galicia. Although he rested most of his key players, Rijkaard still put out an attacking trio of Bojan Krkic, Henry and Giovani Dos Santos, though the forwards failed to make much impact. The Dutch manager, insisting that his side had not been distracted by the looming United tie, said: "The defeat was the result of many factors: that we played another game a few days ago; the fact that there were a number of players on the pitch who lacked match rhythm; the absence of some players."
