foolish to write off his former club Celta Vigo when
they take on Manchester United in the Europa
League semi-final.
Nolito spent three seasons with Celta prior to
joining City in 2016 and gives his old club every
chance of toppling Jose Mourinho's men in the last
four of Europe's second-tier competition.
The stakes are high ahead of Thursday's first leg in
Spain, with the tournament winners qualifying
automatically for next season's Champions
League.
And Nolito is hoping Celta can beat United and
thinks seeing Eduardo Berizzo's men celebrating at
Old Trafford after next week's return leg is a
realistic proposition despite United's status as
favourites to progress.
"I hope Celta get a good result on Thursday and
reach the final," the 30-year-old said to Radio
Marca Vigo.
"They have a chance of going through. Manchester
are a great team - but so are Celta.
"Celta need to be focused and make the most of
the opportunities they get. If they set their mind to
it they can do it, and they are capable of winning at
Old Trafford."
