If I were United's coach, I would not take Barcelona lightly. because, however, United have not been on the perfect track. meaning, Man United's strength is still in the development stage. Ten Hag was well aware that his team was not yet at the level he wanted. although, Ten Hag was able to take United in a better direction in just six months.
but that does not mean, Erik Ten Hag's squad is already at the real level. moreover, if it is used as a benchmark that United are already on their best track. for me, United still need to develop their game again.

At least from my point of view, The Red Devils haven't really shown anything special. that's why, Ten Hag prefer for the next season. proved, United did not bring in sharp strikers who are more established and very well prepared.

On the other hand, Barcelona has a resource of players who have. the problem lies with Xavi, how he formulates the strategies and formations he employs. what's more, Barcelona has Lewandowski, Dembele, Gavi, Pedri and De Jong. let's review, when Barcelona toppled Madrid in the supercopa de espana match. Barcelona gave a surprise with his new strategy, Xavi changed the formation pattern to 4-2-3-1, and that made the key to Barcelona's victory over Real Madrid in that match, regardless of the performance displayed by the Barcelona players. well, Barcelona has the power to subvert United. however, we won't find out until the Europa League playoffs begin.

I know about level and different competitive between Primer League and La Liga but can't be comparison thing, several time La Liga team success dominance than Primer League teams not only in Europe League but also in Champion League. Have difference atmosphere with Europe League competition and all teams want to get great achievement.

I don't sure with Primer League higher level than La Liga will make Barcelona loss compete against Manchester United at playoff round, seem Barcelona more favorite lead to next round than Manchester United based on domestic league achievement by both teams.

The level of play in the Premier League and the level of play in the Spanish League is very different this season and I see the style of play in the Premier League looks a little faster than the players in the Spanish League and that will certainly make the match more exciting to watch because each team will run their strategy during the game. Because Barcelona will also find it difficult if Manchester United players are able to control the ball more.

Ten Hag is like a coach who was given too much power in Ajax Amsterdam after helping them to get success many years. He has the power to choose players to buy and players to sell if he does no longer like them.

He is given similar power in Manchester United to rebuild their club and so far he has been successful with his management. A coach no matter who he is, can not satisfy all players in a club but if he can help his club to get good achievement, it is good management result which will be recognized by the club owner and respected by their fans too.

If there is a star player to leave Manchester United, I believe he will be either Harry Maguire or Jadon Sancho. Maguire has higher odds to leave the club and a next player is likely Sancho who does not show any improvement after all.

It's too early to say that if barcelona won't be possible to defeat manchester united. As far as i know that barcelona has an outstanding record against manchester united. This is the time for ten hag to change it. Barcelona has a very solid squad right now. It's maybe even better compared with MU at this moment. Barcelona has been winning a trophy against real madrid. It seems like that MU is even weaker compared with real madrid. This match gonna be a very interesting match.
I hope that one from these clubs will able to face another big team like arsenal in the future. People are waiting for the match between MU against barcelona. It seems all of focuses were going to this match.

It was a good performance from Sevilla in this match against Cadiz. And that certainly helped them get out of the relegation zone. But they must not be too happy. Because they are not absolutely clear from danger. If they do not continue performing well, at least if they do not get draws and cannot avoid losses, they are going to find them themselves in the relegation zone again. Because they are only one point clear from getting into the relegation zone again.

I do not know if they will be able to actually concentrate on the Europa League competition. Because they will have to be very careful about not getting relegated in La Liga as well.

Both of teams are in the best positions at this moment. I expect that MU must be facing a tough game against Barcelona. MU was at the top 3 while Barcelona was leading la liga this time. The performance from both of the teams in the local league were so good at this moment. MU needs to break its bad record against Barcelona. I hope that MU can do that. No reason for MU to lose against Barcelona. MU needs to surpass Barcelona and go go the next round of europa league.
Some clubs have been waiting for the result from play-offs like arsenal.

with the current conditions Man United are better than Barcelona, but I still think that Barca could beat them in the 1st leg and It will be enough to qualify, keep in mind that the style of play is different and Man utd can find it difficult against Barca if they take control of the match.

Manchester united has proved that they are a very strong team,ETH has done so much to revive the club to this present form. I can't say who will win the match between them and Barca,but I know the stronger side will finally win. Barca has a good team which makes the match to be a tough one and unpredictable for now. There is still time and we will be able to figure out which club will win the match,based on their performance when it is getting close to the match day. I just hope Casemiro will be playing on that day.

I would like to know where you got this information from. Ten Hag is obviously a conflicted coach (if I remember correctly at Ajax he also got rid of a promising player who then went on to perform well) and conflicts do not necessarily manifest themselves immediately or even in the form of scandals. For example, if Rashford leaves for PSG, among other things, because he does not like Ten Hag, will we find out about it (at least immediately)? I highly doubt it.

I agree that they are going to end up with a good team by the end of the season. They are both trying to win Europa but they are both trying to win the title in their own domestic league as well which is why it's so easy for them to fight for the cup at the same time.

When a team is the leader of their league, they are given a bit more money to build a team so that they could keep winning, and this allows them to have a deeper bench, which means they could play those bench players which are not too bad on league games against easier opponents and then their starters on the europa as well. Barcelona has a bit of trouble with United though, that is going to be tough, Arsenal has easier path.

The way Manchester United is becoming tough makes me feel as if it won't be possible for Barcelona to defeat them. Ten Hag is really strengthening Manchester United. I feel Manchester United is more stronger than Barcelona,  Manchester United is very tough in defence which can be a problem for Barcelona.

Sevilla got another win in the La Liga lately against Cadiz and their performance was quite convincing for that match. But I still have doubts about their general effort from now on. Because they are still a very unpredictable team now. They got a win before this match as well but its effect didn't last long. We will see if this win will help them improve their game. They had better focus on doing so until the PSV matchup in the Europa League. Because the Europa League looks like their only chance to qualify for a European tournament again.

Or they can try their luck with the Copa del Rey title which gives them a chance to be a part of the Europa League at least.

I know Manchester United didn't do well when Ronaldo was there, but It makes no sense to capitalize the whole condition of then on Ronaldo. I know so well that if Cr7 were to be in the Manchester United squad right now, he will be a significant instrument to the team. It is high time we all start to believe that a defensive midfielder was the main problem of Manchester United, and that is why the club is growing with the arrival of Casemero.

Both Ten Hag and Xavi are building their squads to win the Europa League title. They still have enough time to remove the weaknesses within the party and strengthen the party. But if the players are not able to consistently perform well, the team's problems will not be solved. However, both teams have strong squads. And they have a lot of talented star players. As their performance is not consistent, no definite prediction can be made about this match.

It is better for Manchester United not having Ronaldo,  any more because when Ronaldo was in the team their was disagreement between Ronaldo and the coach which was affecting the team in a way,  and now Manchester United is doing well because no player is disagreeing with the coach.

The opportunities you give are quite realistic by looking at their current appearance. Even I can't say for sure who will win in this match. Manchester United and Barcelona are both in good shape, even though this week Manchester United have to admit Arsenal's superiority, but if you look at their game they are also quite good by scoring 2 goals. It is possible that the two teams that will play will determine their fate with a longer match drama.

Ronaldo is part of United's history. now, he has left and playing with his new club. on the other hand, The Red Devils are better off without Ronaldo. if you remember the other players, they have more opportunities to develop their potential and skills. and the coach, was able to bring United to a much better performance. even though in the early season campaign, the performance of The Red Devils was very doubtful because they displayed a bad game. but gradually, the patterns and schemes that Ten Hag built brought about big changes even though in the end they had to be defeated by The Gunners after recording a good record in 10 matches in all competitions without defeat.

I'm sure Man United will develop much more under coach Erik Ten Hag. the battle between Barcelona and Manchester United still leaves time, at least Man United will prepare their troops to face Barcelona in the playoffs later. and I think Barcelona will do the same. So, let's see how these two teams develop when they play their matches in the domestic league.

I agree that Barcelona's team may not necessarily suffer a significant loss without Depay. Xavi has shown his ability to assemble a solid club with a wide range of offensive alternatives. Lewandowski, Dembele, and Raphinha have been a successful trio for the squad, and Pedri is a dependable player who can fill in when necessary.

It's crucial to remember, however, that Barcelona's offensive line hasn't been as reliable as we'd like to see. Even if Xavi has developed a successful plan for the squad, there are still certain things that may be done better. The team's capacity to score goals regularly without Lewandowski playing is one of those areas. Xavi needs to work on this and come up with a different approach.

I think Xavi needs to consider alternative possibilities, such as adding a new striker or giving the team's young players more opportunities. Future success for Barcelona will rely on the team's capacity to score goals reliably, irrespective of who is on the field. That Xavi is aware of this is positive, and perhaps he will find a resolution soon.

The appearance of Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo has nothing to do, because before Cistiano Ronaldo was at Manchester United their performances were also unstable. But indeed many consider Cristiano Ronaldo to be the cause of Manchester United's decline. I wonder why they can think like that, are they an embittered team or are they people who don't like Ronaldo.
They've split now, so I think we should just enjoy each other's game. He's in Saudi Arabia now.
