Manchester United favourite Robin van Persie admits that he had goosebumps when supporters chanted his name during the memorable Europa League win over Barcelona at Old Trafford.

Following a pulsating 180 minutes between those two heavyweights - over two legs - United progressed into the last-16 with their 4-3 victory on aggregate.

Fred and Antony responded to a penalty from Poland frontman Robert Lewandowski to settle the scores in the second leg and send United through.

It clinched a thrilling result to go with the atmosphere - and Van Persie found himself front and centre in that regard when he was serenaded from the stands.
