De Gea admits that Manchester United were clearly second best in the first leg in Greece, but is sure things will be different in England.
"We know that we didn't play a good match there in Greece. They were better than us, they played a better match than us and won", he explained to UEFA.
"But now there is the return leg at Old Trafford and I think that with our fans behind us we have to go onto the pitch and attack and fight from the first minute on.
