Manchester United boss Marc Skinner says his players are "in game mode" as they prepare for the return of the Champions League on Thursday.
United have travelled to Atletico Madrid for the first leg of their knockout round play-off with the Spanish giants (20:00 GMT).
It will be the second time the two sides have met this season after Skinner's team won with 10 players in October after Dominique Jansson was sent off.
"We are prepared for the huge challenge ahead," Skinner said. "We are in game mode because the matches are coming thick and fast.
"We are in really good form and playing with really good quality. We know how tough it was last time but we are looking forward to it."
The Red Devils have won their past five games in all competitions and face Atletico knowing Bayern Munich await the winners in the quarter-finals.
"I have seen us fight, I have seen us play beautiful football and I have seen us find a way to win," said Skinner of United's journey in the Champions League.
"The growth of the team has been great. We aim to win both legs as we don't think we can sit back and try to draw either of them. We have not travelled over to not try to do that."
The United boss also reserved special praise for full-back Anna Sandberg, who joined him for the pre-match news conference.
"She will be one of the best left-backs in the world - I firmly believe that," he said.
