CSKA Moscow are expecting a tough Champions League battle against what head coach Viktor Goncharenko believes is the best Manchester United side since Sir Alex Ferguson retired.
Having opened up Group A with a comfortable 3-0 victory against Basel, Jose Mourinho's men have made the long journey east to face another side looking to build on a winning start.
CSKA secured a surprise 2-1 triumph at Benfica earlier this month, but head coach Goncharenko knows it will be tough to pull off another shock on Wednesday evening.
"After Alex Ferguson's legacy, this current version of Manchester United is without any doubt the strongest team,'' he said ahead of the clash in Moscow.
