Arsenal gaffer Arsene Wenger has insisted that the Gunners have what it takes to overturn their 1-0 deficit to reigning Champions League holders Manchester United.

"I am very confident that the team will produce a magnificent performance and that we will [qualify]," he said, as quoted by uefa.com.

"We are playing a home game where we have a very strong record in the Champions League. For many people we are outsiders but I believe we can do it."

In the Premier League, Wenger's men defeated the Red Devils the last time the teams met in north London with Arsenal pinching the three points with a 2-1 victory.

Wenger also takes heart from the strength shown by his squad on home soil, and remains adamant that the Gunners can turn the tables on their Salford-based rivals.

"There is no mission impossible for us. It wouldn't change my belief even if they scored," concluded the Frenchman.
