FC Midtjylland skipper Tim Sparv has expressed his excitement about stepping out at Old Trafford and insists that he will probably cut out a piece of grass, put it in a jar and take it home.
The second leg of the Europa League round of 32 tie is set to place at Manchester United's home ground later tonight with the Danish side holding a slender lead over their opponents.
The match in Denmark ended in a 2-1 win for Sparv's side and the 29-year-old believes that his side will get the desired result that can make his first and probably last trip to Old Trafford memorable.
Speaking about the feeling of visiting Old Trafford, the Finland international insisted that it will be a fantastic occasion for everyone at his club and he cannot wait to step out, to enjoy himself, and maybe even look to take some grass with him at the end of the mach.
“I'm sure it will be a fantastic occasion for everyone”, Sparv told Manchester United's official website.
