The Club Brugge manager insists his team have only "a small chance" of reaching the Champions League group stage after Tuesday's 3-1 play-off first-leg loss
Club Brugge manager Michel Preud'homme has insisted he does not know how to beat Manchester United after Tuesday's Champions League play-off first-leg loss.
The visitors took a surprise lead at Old Trafford through a Michael Carrick own goal, before Memphis Depay scored twice and assisted a third in injury time to give United a solid platform for the second leg.
Brandon Mechele was handed a late red card for a second bookable defence, making the return game in eight days' time a tougher task, and Preud'homme was upfront about Brugge's chances
"You have a small chance at home but it is going to be very difficult," he told BT Sport. "We tried to play with our qualities, but we were missing a lot of players.
"If we have to miss our captain and central defender [for the second leg], with all our injured players, I don't see the solution to beat Manchester United."
