(Reuters) - Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will let his 'last little gut feeling' decide his starting lineup for Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final, second leg against Barcelona.

- Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will let his"last little gut feeling" decide his starting lineup for Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final, second leg against Barcelona.

Chilean forward Sanchez, who scored 47 times in 141 appearances with Barca between 2011 and 2014, has not featured since picking up a knee injury against Southampton last month, while Matic is recovering from a muscle injury. "Because against PSG I had a team in my mind when we travelled in the morning, walk out into the stadium, see the stadium and you say 'nah, I'll change, I need to do this, he needs to play' and it turned out ok."

United's short-term target is to secure a Premier League top-four finish and qualification for the Champions League, but Solskjaer wants the club to compete for major honours next season.
