United failed the start of the season not because of Ronaldo, but because they failed the transfer campaign when some players left the team and no one came to replace. Then they urgently bought such a diamond as Casemiro, naturally this began to bear fruit. Now the team has already rebuilt and, thank God, is not the laughingstock that it was at the beginning of the season.
whatever happens I think we should stop continuing to link manchester united with CR7 because both are happy and moving on lol

ten hag has slowly started to rebuild manchester united, several players who he judged to have bad ethics and did not have a big impact on the team he slowly got rid of. currently MU has a good squad and will face barcelona later, I wonder if ten hag can beat barcelona or vice versa

I agree that Erik Ten Hag is now better than Xavi Hernandez, he is also a coach who has more experience compared to the Barcelona coach now. We will see how they prove on the field, because this is their first meeting because as far as I can remember these two people have never met before as coaches. Manchester United vs Barcelona is one of the big matches that will be played early.

On what basis do you say Ten Hag is better than Xavi? Ten Hag is not the only one that did very well in his former team, Xavi's team before Barcelona did really well too. He won every available trophy during his time there except the club world cup if I'm not mistaken. And currently, to me I think Xavi's Barcelona is doing better than Ten Hag's Manchester United. We can see how both teams have improved under their current Managers so you cant say Ten Hag is a better coach than Xavi.
Except you do not watch Barcelona matches. Too many injuries and poor officiating are major reasons for their early exit from the champions league.


Erik ten Hag is good does not mean that Xavi is not good. Xavi has improved the Barcelona from the mess they were when Messi left them. Today Barcelona can play a good football and even wins against Real Madrid.
The good statement to make is that both tes have improved. If Arsenal can win Manchester United, it means Barcelona can also win them if Erik ten Hag does take care.

Depay was not a good substitute to Lewandoski in Barcelona. He doesn't play well in the number 9 role. He plays best from the wing and for a very long time he's been really poor for Barca. Selling him is not such a bad idea. Thru got 4m and 200k off their wage bill.

La Liga has informed Barcelona that they can't sign any other player this January despite the sale of Depay due the the Spanish La Liga FFA. They'll have to finish the season without any new signings.
Angel Alacon, an academy player would be his replacement and would be called upon when needed.
Memphis Depay have loss his position with Barcelona and not only as regular player but also he can't get minutes playing as substitute player, I think not any impact for Barcelona losing Memphis Depay because on winger position still have many back up player from Raphinha, Dembele, Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres.

Losing Depay will mean nothing to Barcelona, Xavi don't need Depay in his squad at all. The combination of Barcelona attack line is always filled with Lewandowski, Dembele and Raphinha. Xavi also still has many options if one of them cannot play. Pedri can be relied upon by Xavi to fill in as a winger if needed, Barcelona strength will not decrease even though Depay has officially worn the Atletico jersey.

Xavi has found the right strategy that has made the Barcelona squad stronger than before, but Xavi has still not been able to make Barcelona attack line consistently score goals when Lewandowski cannot be played. Xavi must immediately find an option if at any time Lewandowski cannot be played, we have just seen Barcelona's condition when they won with a narrow score over Getafe, the only goal scored in that match was through Pedri brilliant action as a midfielder.

Xavi is a smart manager. the situation of the two coaches when handling their teams is different. Xavi made quick improvements with a Barca squad that was abysmal under the previous coach. he made changes to training patterns that many of his players didn't like. not to mention the financial difficulties that hit Barca. I think that if Ten Hag had accepted the offer to coach the Barça team at that time, he would most likely have turned it down. a team that is in disarray. very different from MU who suddenly bought quite expensive players. not just one, but several that MU did.
so we can judge, who is good.

I also do not think that Ten Hag is better than Xavi,Ten Hag is an average coach for me and the fact that he excelled at his former team does not mean anything as he was not in one of the best leagues like he is now in Premier League,the fact that he is not excelling here against strong teams but against only weaker ones says a lot.On the other hand Xavi is clearly shining in the Barcelona management as they are comfortably leading the La Liga in Spain and also won against Real Madrid in the Super Cup there.

Xavi is probably a good coach. But don't forget that Xavi has just started his coaching career. He is not yet experienced enough. Ten Hag will be ahead of Xavi in terms of experience. However, the performance of the Barcelona team is now more stable than that of Manchester United. If Barcelona's main striker Lewandowski is able to stay with the squad then my guess is Barcelona will win against Manchester United.

I know for sure that the clash in Europa League of such teams will be the best of all the Europa League but I think judging teams recent form Barcelona has much higher chances to go through.

Ten Hag received a lot of criticism for Ronaldo. However, we are looking at the Manchester United squad right now, they have a very good winning streak. His technical knowledge cannot be said, but I still think he could bring Ronaldo to the team. He was a name that could contribute to the team even at this age. Anyway, things are going well for now. We will see together what kind of struggle will be with Arteta's Arsenal. In addition, the matches they will play with Barcelona are also very important for Manchester United. If they can eliminate Barcelona, ​​we can say that they are on their way to the cup.
United failed the start of the season not because of Ronaldo, but because they failed the transfer campaign when some players left the team and no one came to replace. Then they urgently bought such a diamond as Casemiro, naturally this began to bear fruit. Now the team has already rebuilt and, thank God, is not the laughingstock that it was at the beginning of the season.

Blaming Ronaldo for Manchester United's poor performance is foolish. Manchester United's overall performance was unstable. Although several players in the squad left the team, Manchester United did not have a suitable replacement for them. Their match strategy was weak. I would say poor match strategy was the main reason for Manchester United's erratic performance. But now Manchester United's performance is quite good. They are playing very well in the Premier League. And now their aim should be to qualify for the Champions League.

I am not sure if Manchester United will be able to win against Barcelona in the Europa League. But the players are confident enough. I am looking forward to a competitive match.

Man United fans are hypocrites
They are in a good but yet dwells so much in the past
They should do all they can to move on. Ronaldo wasn't a problem he was just not capable of high pressuring

Currently, Barcelona is surely not strong enough like Manchester United because they have no quality like them but still they are able to give them good resistance in coming match which is going to play after few weeks for the knock-out stage of the Europa League cup.

I think we are going to have a 50-50 match between these two. Even a few weeks back, both of these teams were in shambles and apparently, both of them have bounced back and are on insanely good form. United recently won the derby and Barcelona won the Spanish cup by beating Real Madrid. I think whoever has the better tactic on the given matchday, will win the game.

They are leading in La Liga but having challenging situation in both leagues with their match against Manchester United is also coming soon so things looking not well and if they have any serious injury to Robert Lewandowski this could be more troubling and with this they can lose this all success quickly and face another troubling end of this season like they have in last few seasons.

The performance of both Manchester United and Barcelona is now unstable. Despite their strong squad, they are unable to consistently perform well. Now if Lewandowski is out of the squad due to injury, it will be more difficult for Barcelona to get points against Manchester United. Hopefully Lewandowski can return to the squad before the Europa League match.

Yes, Lewa is essential in Barcelona, but I don't know, I think that Lewa's injury is not that bad, if this is the case, he may be in the headline, now if we don't start to think that Man United has improved and Barcelona too, here what will be handled and will be interviewed is who of the two coaches will have the better leadership, these two teams will assume their strategy in a clear and precise way, they will have a clear objective, because I know that the majority of fans They will be very aware of this match, because many say that Barcelona or Man United will remain champion, also that both teams need first place here.

Its seems first time I heard about Barcelona can't sign any new player in this January window transfer, actually will bring bad impact exactly with attacking line after losing Memphis Depay, for center forward they only have Robert Lewandowski and right now still consistency performance although Lewandowski absent for several matches after red card punishment.
In current transfer window Barcelona can't sign any new player because if they will do this surely they will face some problems because La Liga management banned them because of financial problems, and it's also against the fair play rules, so now they have to wait for the next summer transfer window for having any new player but for me right now they are good enough to have few players which can give them good services until end of the season in absence of Robert Lewandowski.

Currently, Barcelona is surely not strong enough like Manchester United because they have no quality like them but still they are able to give them good resistance in coming match which is going to play after few weeks for the knock-out stage of the Europa League cup.

give place to their young players I think it will be better for Barcelona. it is not a wrong decision if Xavi needs a replacement for Depay.
after all, Xavi is now more compelled to use Gavi when they want to play more out wide. like the match against Getafe, Barcelona will not be reinforced by Lewandowski, of course, that is a loss. so Xavi will make a strong strategy in midfield and wings that will be more aggressive. using a 4-4-3, this was a different formation against Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup, Xavi used a 4-2-3-1 formation, leaving Lewandowski up front.

Ten hag wasn't in a tough league,  and secondly he was in the toughest club ruling a weak league for that he had better advantages. I will support it if u said Ten Hag is more experienced than Xavi but saying that he is a better coach than Xavi I will say u judge based on the current performance. Becaquse the same reason should make u rate him above Artetta but because Arteta is doing well, u wouldn't say Ten hag is better than him. 
Basically I have never blamed any coach for the team they lead, either in the past or at the moment. Regarding experience, of course everyone has seen how Erik ten Hag coached other teams before Manchester United, and everyone also knows how Xavi was when he first coached Barcelona because he is a young coach among most other coaches so there is a clear difference in experience. Talking about the good and bad of the team they coach, it actually has to be assessed thoroughly by not cornering just one person like the coach.
Apart from all that, these two coaches will prove who is the best between them when Manchester United and Barcelona meet later. Regardless of who is more experienced, that will be seen when the match is in progress. While experience may determine how the coach solves problems when deadlocked, the fact we will be focused on the 90 minutes of the game is inevitable. The players that will be played will also be a determining factor in the success or failure of the strategy that will be implemented by these two governors. They will meet in 2 fixtures, the second leg will be more visible in my opinion because they learned from the first leg.

Barcelona look like they are in search of another striker to increase the alternatives. At least the speculations say that. I have seen Enner Valencia's name in the rumours. Maybe this is related to the possibility of Depay's departure. I still think they shouldn't let him go yet but it looks like he can leave anytime. Depay is still a good backup option for Lewandowski actually.

Barcelona had better make their decision carefully not to have only Lewandowski as a striker in the squad. Otherwise the rest of the season might be in danger for them in case of Lewandowski's possible absence. The Europa League goal of them would also be affected badly.

Depay was not a good substitute to Lewandoski in Barcelona. He doesn't play well in the number 9 role. He plays best from the wing and for a very long time he's been really poor for Barca. Selling him is not such a bad idea. Thru got 4m and 200k off their wage bill.

Eric did brought Manchester united into bright light,he was able to discipline the players and built a team that is very strong and superb. It is Eric vs Xavi on the match day as both coach will want to show their quality that they have all it takes to win the match. Barca are performing excellently which will not make it easy for Manchester united to win the match. If Lewandoski is macked out it will be a problem for the club since De pay is gone.
Since Depay has already left, I'm sure they're looking for a plan B. The worst-case scenario for Barcelona is that Lewandowski is injured before their match against Manchester United. I'm not saying they won't have a chance, but they'll face a lot of pressure from Manchester United, as well as a goal drought because they don't have a striker who can simply finish the game for them when necessary. This is supposed to be a tough match, but given the present state of things, we may have to just see Manchester United prevailing against Barcelona.
Barcelona financial position is not good, and they are facing troubles just because of this selling their few players those are having high salaries even right now La Liga management never give them permission for having replacements, so this can create problems for them, but they have to face this all situation until end of this season because currently they are not able to have any buying.

Having a draw in their last match by Manchester united is still a good result, and shouldn't be used to judge their match with Barca. EPL is different and tougher than Laliga,which gives Manchester united  more advantage over Barca. It will be a difficult and interesting match,since it has been long since this two clubs clashed.
Manchester United and Barca are performing better in their various leagues. We have seen how both teams have been winning their matches lately. Manchester United drew to Crystal Palace and Barca won over Real Madrid in the super cup. Both team's last matches can be used to judge the upcoming match that will happen between them in 3 weeks. Barca and Manchester United do have other matches to play with other clubs before then. Maybe before then, the situation of injuries or loss form might occur between Barca or Manchester United. Which might be an advantage to the other team

The English Premier League and La Liga do have different tensions, but we can also consider when they have a strong opponent. At least with them playing well and getting good results when they play against strong teams in their respective leagues, these results can at least be a reference for us to be able to predict their match in this Europa League.
But yes indeed, at this moment at least Manchester United has a good method and strategy because Manchester United is also being coached by the right coach this season.

Ten Hag received a lot of criticism for Ronaldo. However, we are looking at the Manchester United squad right now, they have a very good winning streak. His technical knowledge cannot be said, but I still think he could bring Ronaldo to the team. He was a name that could contribute to the team even at this age. Anyway, things are going well for now. We will see together what kind of struggle will be with Arteta's Arsenal. In addition, the matches they will play with Barcelona are also very important for Manchester United. If they can eliminate Barcelona, ​​we can say that they are on their way to the cup.
