Apart from Arsenal, Barcelona, and Juventus, I don't see any other strong contender that is capable of stopping Manchester united in the Europa league. Eric Ten Hag has done a great job so far, and I believe he is setting every system to go for the Europa league title. Manchester United is so hungry to get a title for some seasons now, it will be so good to see them register another Europa league title after the last one in 2017 in Sweden.

IMO, Arsenal are more established in game than the other candidates. if I compare all the existing teams, Arsenal always display a consistent game in every game. as for The Red Devils and Barcelona, these two teams have just built their squads. even though in their matches, these two teams almost always win every game. However, in terms of stability, play and readiness, Arsenal are superior.

I would say the strongest teams in the Europa League right now are Arsenal and Barcelona. The Arsenal team has continued to perform consistently in competitive leagues like the Premier League. And they have been on top of the table since the start of the season. The performance of the Barcelona team was unstable a few days ago. But now they are consistently performing well. Barcelona have performed well in the last few matches. I want to keep these two teams ahead to win the European League title.

On the other hand, I rarely watch Serie A teams, however, based on the matches I've watched and the stats they have. Allegri's squad has not always been consistent, especially with the recent cases that have befallen them. I still favor the Gunners, despite the fact that we will never know which team will make it to the final round.

Feyenoord and Real Sociedad are strong clubs too and both of them can compete against top clubs, you shouldn't really confident to see Manchester United will become a champion because their first step is need to beat Barcelona first, Barcelona is strong and have beat Real Madrid in this season. Juventus actually a bad club in this season, the management have an internal problem and it will cause the players get pressure too.

I understand why he believes so much that Man United will be able to win the UEFA Europa League this season, Man United appeared impressive after the arrival of their new coach but I also agree that Barcelona will be their toughest hurdle, the two teams are currently on the same graphic which can be said to be uphill and only a manager who can read the weaknesses of the opposing team who can finally win and advance to the next round in this tournament and that is difficult to predict.
Juventus are having a different story this season, the sanctions they receive seem to damage the mentality of the players so that in this tournament they are not so considered as strong contenders for the championship.

In my opinion, once united will be able to defeat Barcelona and im sure if united potentially be a winner in europa league. Barcelona is the strongest team in europa league right now. Im sure if mu will get more chances to win trophy as long as MU will be winning against barcelona.
I hope that ten hag will not miss golden opportunity to eliminate one of best team. I think that MU will able to do that even barcelona was leading the la liga. Barcelona is not so strong as people think

The matches between Barcelona and Manchester United are unpredictable. Barcelona is in very good form now, and they are capable of beating any team. On the other hand, United's squad still has some problems. Their performance is not regular. Xavi's match strategy is very good now. Barcelona is able to dominate almost every match. So Ten Hag will definitely need to build a strong squad and match strategy if they want to win.

I just know both teams are good in their performance. But I can't predict which team will win the match. If I should predict who to win based on performance I think Manchester United is good to win because Manchester United is in EPL where their are strong teams, while in laliga the teams their are not as strong in EPL. It won't be easier for Barcelona to defeat United.

Erik Ten Hag by now is one step ahead towards creating a strong wall of defense against Barcelona in order not to allow a chance of penetration from their forward players, just like Dembele and Lewandowski who are very dangerous when allowed to break into a defensive line. Their matchup with each other came at a very early time but watching the game now when the two teams are in top form makes it more intriguing to watch.

Dembele will not be playing against MU during the continuation of europa league for the match between MU against Barcelona. Raphinha will be replacing dembele and i believe raphinha is far garbage compared with dembele. MU's defenders will able to protect rapinha easily while the problem is now Lewandowski. I think mu needs to learn from the play style that has used by bayern against Barcelona. intermilan was also showing good play about how to prevent Barcelona.
Dembele will not be a threat for MU caused by be will absent from the game against MU. Im so happy to see that one of main player from Barcelona won't play.

If Barcelona is going to lose Dembélé for this encounter then surely it's going to be good advantage for the Manchester United because he is the quality player and have good impact on Barcelona performance in last few matches with Robert Lewandowski is not able to perform well after his return from the RED CARD suspension Raphinha is surely not near Dembélé but still have ability to give better result for his team.

Manchester United is doing good job and having improvement in their defense as well which was the biggest concern for them in early part of this season, but recently they are on good recovery even still few things needs to fix, but they are capable of handling things in positive way in first leg Barcelona needs to have some better performance because at home Manchester United could be different team for them.

Leverkusen are currently the favourite team to advance in this matchup. You can see it from the odds as well.

Maybe some people will say that Leverkusen's placement is bad in the Bundesliga. But actually they started the season pretty badly and this is a much better position for them. They had a great winning streak to reach their current position in the Bundesliga. They got two losses in a row recently though but I still think they are in good shape now. Besides I expect them to care about the Europa League a lot. As they have got away from the relegation zone in the Bundesliga they can focus on this tournament as well.

Leverkusen is surely better team for the European competitions instead of Monaco which is having good record in French league and never been ideal side for the European competitions, but recently we have good change in their approach, and now they are having amazing run in league matches as their attack is one of the best in league and it's giving good results to them with defense is also having better performance but still needs improvement.

Leverkusen which was surely going down in early part of the season and having exit from Champions League as well now on recovery mod with having few good wins and under new coach Alonso they are improving their way of play hopefully they will be able to perform good in first leg which could be vital for them and their chances for the next round this could be entertaining match for the fans.

Agreed, it's encouraging to see Leverkusen showing indications of progress and mounting a comeback. They appear to have great potential under the direction of their new coach and with a more unified approach to their play. Watching how they play in the first leg is crucial, in my opinion, since it might determine whether or not they advance to the second.

Nonetheless, I also think that Monaco has been making some major improvements recently and that they shouldn't be ignored. The team's recent performance in the French league has been especially remarkable given that their offensive is among the strongest in the league. While their defense still has some work to do, I see them as a squad on the rise that might challenge Leverkusen. I think fans will enjoy this matchup and can't wait to see how it plays out.

Compared to Dembele, Raphinha may be a bit behind. Because Dembele has been in good form this season. But it cannot be said that Raphinha is very weak. He is quite talented. But he missed a lot of opportunities. Every chance is very important in such an important match. And so Xavi needs to fine-tune his match strategy. If the match strategy is weak, it will not be possible to defeat the United team.

Raphinha should not be looked down on by United players even if Dembele is not present. Xavi is well aware of Dembele's absence in that game, and I'm sure he has a backup plan in place by now. His main focus will be breaking through Manchester United's defense, and he will go to any length to do so for the team to win.

It's not the mater of looking down, Dembele and Rafina are two different players with unique qualities, but The absence of Dembele is a big problem in FC Barcelona's clash with Manchester united. I am not undertaking Rafinah, Raphina is good and can stand in for him, but the production will be different, and breaking Manchester united's defense will be much easy with Dembele than with Rafina.

Even without Dembele in the squad, Raphinha, Lewandowski, and Gavi look set to lead Barcelona to victory.

yes, now this trio is Xavi's mainstay for Barcelona's attack line. they have power in ball possession. and also the aggressive Lewandowski up front.
against United, it will be an important game and also a game to perform with the totality of both. there will be no mistakes if they don't want to lose the fight.
United can't be underestimated either, now they have grown tremendously and I'm sure they are also ready for their second meeting.

Raphinha's back up for dembele. Raphinhas has been replacing dembele in the previous matches. Xavi has been starting to test alternative formations once dembele will not able to play against manchester united. Barcelona must be focusing on the match against manchester united.
MU will not even let barcelona attacks go through defensive line. Im really aware that sabitzer may be playing against barcelona. I hope that if the full squads of MU will be playing especially casemiro which has become the main defender for united.
I hope that rashford will be making some goals against united.

Many have seen Raphinha underestimated. Raphnha is a very talented player. But he is not experienced enough. If he was experienced, he would not have missed such an easy opportunity. However, I see no chance of underestimating Raphinha. In yesterday's La Liga match, Raphinha showed a great performance against Sevilla. He scored one goal and one assist. And Barcelona got a nice 3-0 win. My guess is that Raphinha will not disappoint the fans in the match against Manchester United. Even without Dembele in the squad, Raphinha, Lewandowski, and Gavi look set to lead Barcelona to victory.

Sadly for Manchester United Lisandro Martinez will not be available for the first leg because he will serve his one match ban after picking up his fifth yellow card again Real Soceidad. He will be a big miss but united has other center backs like Maguire and Lindelof. I predict Lindelof will start in his place if he is fit or we could see Luke Shaw at the center back after his excellent performance when he was deployed there. Maguire could also be another option but I doubt he can be trusted in this match by Ten Hag. Overall Martinez will be a big Miss in the match

Maguire wasn't participating recently as he was supposed to move to Inter Milan. In addition, he was among the lineup in only 4 matches this season. Therefore, I think it's difficult for him to start the match against Barcelona. For Martinez, missing the first leg is better than missing the second one, which will be more decisive in my opinion.

The Erik ten Hag squad is seriously lacking discipline and he needs to act before it will cost him. Almost every week he will be loosing players on the ground of indiscipline.
The other time, it was Mc Tommy serving a match ban because of 5 yellow cards. Later Casemiro went into the situation and now Casemiro is in direct res card and Martinez is in it again. They need to change their bully playing method.

It is now that Manchester United defence is complete. Before now it is either Varane is injured and Martinez is available or more stories. But now Dallot and Wanbissaka are available. Linderlof and Martinez are also available. Maguire and Varane is also available. Malacia and Luke Shaw also available. So, there is total availability in all the Manchester United defence. It is the midfield of Manchester United that looks like shaking

I agree that United defense definitely matters in this situation, if they could come out with Varane and Martinez at the same time, that would be more than enough for them for sure, that should give them some chances to beat Barcelona. Or at the very least, even if they end up losing, isn't it better to lose with all of your players are playing and you are giving your 100% and you still lose?

Because, if players were missing that would look like "if we were 100% we may have gotten them" and that regret will be bad, in this case there is no regret and they end up playing as well as possible with all their players and if they fall short then they could try to be better next season at least.

Yes, I forgot to mention this part of the upcoming games. I don't like Ten Hag, but compared to Xavi, he is a real specialist and we can assume that he should win his part of the confrontation at the coaching level for a clear advantage.
This is another argument in favor of United, and the more absurd the forecasts of bookmakers now look (however, bookmakers are also not omnipotent and must take into account the opinion of the crowd and cash flows - and fact is that the Barcelona brand is now stronger than the United brand).

To put pressure on Barcelona, Erik Ten Hak must turn off the midfield. If the Manchester United players are able to do that, then the chances of getting a draw are more open. The game scheme between Barcelona and Manchester United is also not much different, because they both rely on the midfield to build attacks. But on the other hand, the Manchester United winger is much better prepared than the Barcelona winger.

For me Barcelona and Manchester United are both strong at the moment, the rest is the role of the coach in setting strategy and motivating the players, because in crucial matches like that the players' mentality and experience are very important, because they will play a psychological role in bringing down the opponent's mentality during matches.

United don't have to compete with Barcelona in midfield (although they can). They can play indoor football by playing on the counterattack. Barcelona in this case will make 1000 passes in the center of the field and 100 stupid hinged pass to Lewandowski. Will it bring them success? Hardly. But United's counterattacks, I'm sure will turn into a few goals. But I'm not sure that the game will go according to this scenario, maybe Ten Hag will decide to play pressure and play the first number.

I highly doubt United to score a lot of goals to a team like Barcelona who have only conceded like 7 goals in total in the La Liga in 19 games played.The Barcelona team is in a perfect form recently going from a win to a win and I would bet on this encounter for Barcelona to qualify if the odd is well over 1.5 as this to me looks like a value and a sure bet.Regardless anything can happen when a team from the Premier League plays,they are able to make a lot of surprises in any tournament they play.
