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
Ten Hag was able to bring United even better in a very short time, their performance improved a lot compared to the start of the season. Currently, The Red Devils have more and more solid motivation and mentality, especially after overthrowing their city rivals, namely Manchester City.
I am quite optimistic, next season Manchester United will be able to compete and become one of the challengers in the Champions League. more so, if Ten Hag can keep his troop's performance stable. it is not impossible, United are able to overthrow Barcelona.
I'm pretty sure as a coach, Xavi will pay more attention to Man United, who is currently on fire. the reason is, Xavi has stated that they are targeting a trophy in this competition. as their opponent was United, Xavi knew very well that their current opponent had become very formidable. at least, Barcelona will prepare its troops to face United in the playoffs later. This fight will present a very interesting match.
