I still think Barcelona has a slight advantage maybe 55-60% to win against Manchester United that either 40-45% to win.
I don't think Barcelona will care if they are eliminated by United, they will surely want to win but their focus is on the La Liga, they are top of the La Liga and they just beat real madrid to win the Supercopa, so if they didn't believe before, now they believe that they can win the La Liga from real madrid, and that is the big trophy they want. If the Europa league would be a distraction to them if they go far in it, then it is better they are eliminated by United early. Manchester United have been playing well in the premier league too, but they are not the favorites for it, but in the La Liga barcelona are favorites.

After the break Manchester City is having form issue just because of this now they are losing points in Premier League, but Barcelona is surely having different way like they play in yesterday game against Real Madrid things looking amazing, and we can expect good fight for the next round between these two clubs with most chances both are having equal chance for qualifying into next round because now things looking positive and they both have enough quality and match winners.
First of all, we know about FIFA virus and its impact on clubs that have too many international players. Second many players of Manchester City had very bad World Cup 2022 and they returned to club with bad psychology. Their performance for Manchester City is affected by being tired after World Cup 2022 physically but their psychology was impacted negatively too.Player who did not participate in World Cup 2022 like Haaland can not return to his best performance yet. Haaland lost his sensitive touches and shots for Manchester City. His injury and recovery time are likely affected him too and he will need a little more time to be ready.

Now how they respond on match day this could be completely different story with win against Manchester City their confidence level is high, and they can beat any team because this is the biggest win under Ten Hag era for them, and they are completely different team with this all.
Time is no longer supports Manchester City even the season is long enough. However the excellent form of Arsenal in this season can turn the season to a nightmare for Manchester City. Bought Haaland who broke many Premier League scorer records but lose the trophy to Arsenal. It's an acceptable ending for Manchester City and Pep Guardiola and they will surely try to avoid it. 
Did you watch the Spanish Super Cup final which Barcelona just won. Barcelona played like crazy to win trophies, the struggles of Barcelona players were not in vain, they managed to beat Real Madrid with a landslide score.
Let's compare the Super Cup competition with the Europa League, it's impossible that Barcelona don't care about the Europa League trophy. The Europa League competition is more prestigious, of course Xavi will prioritize the Europa League this season, especially since Barcelona failed in the final last season.
I'm sure Xavi's priority right now will be La Liga, especially since after beating Real Madrid they will have enough self-confidence to keep their lead. Barcelona won't mind winning the EL as well, but the first game will be against the MU, who are also in great shape right now and they beat City this weekend. We can say that both clubs are close to their optimal form, it should be a very interesting confrontation.Let's compare the Super Cup competition with the Europa League, it's impossible that Barcelona don't care about the Europa League trophy.

But, if they have good performance and confidence then surely they can beat Manchester United in Europa Cup as well because right now they have just three points lead and Real Madrid is also trying their best for narrowing this all because they are also defending two titles with few injuries issue, but things can change any time for them as well they have good players, but their moral is currently down with they need to wake up nothing specially which is currently missing from their side.
I'm now believing in Manchester United they may succeed in defeating Barcelona. If Manchester United was able to defeat Manchester City in the premier league I don't see Barcelona to be that difficult for them. Manchester United is good to challenge any big team.
Maybe yes, maybe no.Manchester City previously was lost to Southampton too, so we can say Manchester City performance doesn't really good recently. While Barcelona they have beat Real Madrid which is previous winner of Champions League, you need to know if Champions League is higher than Europa League.
I still think Barcelona has a slight advantage maybe 55-60% to win against Manchester United that either 40-45% to win.

I don't think Barcelona will care if they are eliminated by United, they will surely want to win but their focus is on the La Liga, they are top of the La Liga and they just beat real madrid to win the Supercopa, so if they didn't believe before, now they believe that they can win the La Liga from real madrid, and that is the big trophy they want.

There will always be possibility for the past scenario to happen again when barcelona was losing against frankfurt. Even real madrid could also lose against some team in europa league too.
The result can change anytime. that's it

If the Europa league would be a distraction to them if they go far in it, then it is better they are eliminated by United early. Manchester United have been playing well in the premier league too, but they are not the favorites for it, but in the La Liga barcelona are favorites.I will reiterate. Xavi once said that after Barcelona were knocked out of the Champions League, he said on several occasions that Barcelona was targeting two trophies at once, namely the Europa League and La Liga. that way, Barcelona will not underestimate their opponents in the Europa League.
IMO, when referring to last night's match when Barcelona against Real Madrid. Their playing pattern is very different from before, now Barcelona's defense is more solid, their midfielders are starting to be productive, especially the presence of De Jong makes some differences plus Xavi dares to experiment with his new formation. I like watching Barcelona play against Real Madrid last night, even though it's not a prestigious event. however, the El Clasico match is a battle of prestige from the two Spanish giants. plus points for Xavi, and winning the Supercopa.
In the playoffs later, I'm sure the Barcelona vs Manchester United match will be a very exciting match for us to watch.

I don't think Barcelona's win or loss against any other team will be enough to say that they will overthrow Manchester united or lose to them in the Europa league. It will be a very interesting match to watch cuz both clubs are doing well. Every Single player in that Match will be dangerous, especially the attackers. so I don't agree with your idea that paying more attention to Robert Lewandowsky will weaken Barcelona.
Barcelona and Manchester United are big clubs with so good players and they can decide results with a single shot. Recent forms are important but not most important factors. In fact their actual performances in those two matches will decide results. Sometimes star players can have streaks of bad performances but in big matches, they suddenly revert their forms and help their clubs win.Like Rashford who suddenly became a very different player after World Cup 2022. He will be so important for Manchester United to beat Barcelona in coming matches between them.
Lewandowsky after a good first half of season for Barcelona tends to slow down his performance. It can impact Barcelona ability to score against Manchester United. However, they will have Dembele, Gavi and Pedri who can support Lewandowsky very well and can score goals too.
I think Man United's performance is slightly better than Barcelona, where in their last 7 matches Man United always won, while Barcelona had to draw 2 times and win 5 times. Man United also managed to score 17 goals and only conceded 3 goals, while Barcelona created 16 goals and conceded 9 goals. The numbers above are not a guarantee for a victory because there are indeed other factors that have a big influence on a match. But those statistics can still be considered that Man United is currently having a better trend than Barcelona, and of course, they have a chance to beat Barcelona.
Erik Ten Hag was able to make the Manchester United team even tougher, he did a pretty good job, barcelona and Manchester United need good tactics and strategies in the upcoming matches, seeing Manchester United's performance increase is quite high, I think Barcelona really need to be careful heart with Manchester United, under the tutelage of Erik Teh Hag who remains stable, I'm sure Barcelona will be overthrown by Manchester United.
You shall learn from the match Barcelona against frankfurt. There would be lots of lessons that can be taken.

Ten hag has been transforming MU to the a team that is having a very good team work. Manchester united shall have learned from so many previous matches about what's gonna be the weakness from barcelona. Manchester united shall focus to the barcelona's winger. Lewandowski can be prevented easily but it seems like that barcelona's winger has become the main key for the barcelona. It's too early to say that barcelona will overthrown MU.
You shall learn from the match barcelona against frankfurt. There would be lots of lesson that can be taken.
The win over City in the League provides optimism that United are back on track as a club to be reckoned with in all the competitions they have played in including in the Europa League. The match is about 1 month away so anything can happen and what is most frightening for a team that is on the way up is the injury to their core player, if this happens to Man United they might return to being a team that is struggling to return to the good things it is today You shall learn from the match barcelona against frankfurt.

U said Manchester united is currently better than FC Barcelona and at the same time, you are scared of Pedri, Gavi, Dembele, and Robert Lewandowsky. Fc Barcelona's performance is below expectations, but it doesn't mean that they wouldn't give all they have in other to win the Europa League title. Man United has risen to a different height, but Barcelona is also good in their way. I quest the side with a better game plan will win the match. It's uncertain to judge from the current performance.This match will be one of the big games in the Europa League, I really hope these two teams meet in the Final, but the EUL draw brings these two teams together sooner than expected.
Manchester United form in the Europa league have been at top level, they have only lost one and won 5 games. The playoff fixture against Barcelona will be test of their consistency level because it looks like they are finally finding the balance under Ten Hag's management. Manchester United perform better against top teams and Barcelona will be no different from others but it is a 50/50 game and anyone could win.
United has been starting to be even more mature. The new united under ten hag has become a new form of united which has been fulfilled by so many young talented players. it can be considered as the most difficult match for MU. Barcelona has a very good result in h2h against MU. this is the time for MU to break such rumour if MU was an easy opponent for barcelona. this gonna be death battle for both. I think that i will pick MU in this case seeing from the impressive performance in EPL. MU is also having good performance during the group qualified in europa league too. MU is so underrated at this moment.
I think Man United's performance is slightly better than Barcelona, where in their last 7 matches Man United always won, while Barcelona had to draw 2 times and win 5 times. Man United also managed to score 17 goals and only conceded 3 goals, while Barcelona created 16 goals and conceded 9 goals.

But those statistics can still be considered that Man United is currently having a better trend than Barcelona, and of course, they have a chance to beat Barcelona.
Erik Ten Hag was able to make the Manchester United team even tougher, he did a pretty good job, barcelona and Manchester United need good tactics and strategies in the upcoming matches, seeing Manchester United's performance increase is quite high, I think Barcelona really need to be careful heart with Manchester United, under the tutelage of Erik Teh Hag who remains stable, I'm sure Barcelona will be overthrown by Manchester United.
Barcelona must be careful with the improvements that happened with MU. Rashford will become the main key for united to be able to win against barcelona. Dembele might be a threat for MU but im sure that MU has good team for now. MU was able to beating manchester city. I think that the different between MU and barcelona are not too far right now. MU has capability to beat barcelona in the europa league. The play off to go to the last 16 of europa league become even harder.
Juventus is also starting to struggle with its performance in serie a. I think that MU and barcelona were equal at this moment consider from the result achieved by MU

Careful? You should have waited for the final result of the recently concluded Super Cup before making warnings for Barcelona, trust me. I know Manchester United has improved recently in their performance, winning the teams that have been leading other leagues, but I think Barcelona would leverage their Champions League loss to win the Europa League on the bag, Xavi wants that, and looking at how smart Rashford is hot in Manchester United, Barcelona has Gavi as well, I can strongly say that Barcelona is upto this task to win the Europa League.
Juventus isn't too bad, Milan is just a point away, winning a single match will settle the points they need to be ahead. Nantes is the one who needs more warning considering their position on the table and the last matches they have played so far because it looks below average for someone who wants to win the Europa trophy.
Manchester United together with Arsenal are the best teams at the moment. I think Juventus actually have quite little chance if they had to play a two camp against 1 of these teams. You only have to deal with the draw of Barcelona - Manchester United. Still one of the favorites for the title. I find it quite difficult to make a good estimate of this. Barcelona is no longer the Barcelona of a few years ago, but the same can be said of Manchester United. Still, United are better off than Barcelona at the moment. United beat City last weekend. It will be an interesting showdown that could go either way. Arsenal will be watching this match with rubbing hands as 1 title competitor will be eliminated anyway. And what should we think about Ajax and Sevilla? Both are in horrible shape.
