There is an opportunity for Manchester United to improve their record against Barcelona. It is true that Barcelona is better than Manchester United for now, but seeing Manchester United's improvement under the hands of Erik Ten Hag, there is great hope for them to return to their former glory. If not, at least they are a club that is no longer underestimated by other clubs, especially in the Premier League.
Many people are looking forward to the match between these two clubs, because it's rare for us to see these 2 big clubs meet in international matches, even though it's only in the Europa League.

With the recent performance of Manchester United I consider Manchester united to be a strong team. Ten Hag was able to fetch out good players like Casemiro, Anthony and other players that has brought back the glory of Manchester United like the way it used to be before.

Manchester united will play against big teams like Manchester City, arsenal and Barcelona. Manchester United performance is not poor, I think they are ready to play against any tesm with their form of performance.

Manchester city was not playing in europa league. You shall not go out of topic. Barcelona may be defeated by united. MU's performance is the best in EPL now. Ten haag has been using his magic to change the team to be even better and better. it seems like that he will become the new alex ferguson in MU. Mu has been preparing the best performance to face the match against barcelona.
Barcelona can be considered as a big wall that was always preventing MU since a long time ago. it's the time for MU to pass it

I think recently man united performance improved greatly, i agree that they can beat any team in the europa league but i wouldn't go as far as saying their performance is the best in the epl, barcelona game is tough because they are a moody team they can be extremily good when they want to i think it will be a competitive one.

Nantes have a huge odd for advancing to next stage like 4.00 now. It is 1.22 for Juventus at the same time. It isn't surprising of course because there is a huge quality difference in the first place. Besides Juventus have started to get much more positive results for so many weeks in the Serie A which is another motivation for Juventus to eliminate Nantes here. Juventus are still struggling with injuries actually but it looks like all of the injured players are expected to recover by the end of January.

The injury situation could have been Nantes' only chance. Because there is a significant struggle among Juventus players when it comes to getting comfortable wins. But especially by Vlahovic's return I will be expecting a more productive team. Nantes have to fight as hard as possible here because of not having a good season in the Ligue 1. But I don't think that effort would still be enough.

At the moment, the weakest teams in the Europa League are Midtjylland and Sevilla (quite ironically, the multiple winner of this tournament this season among the outsiders), the rest of the clubs are strong and some pairs are indistinguishable from the pairs in the Champions League (especially in the group stage). It is a pity that this tournament has a secondary status and there is no way to fix it, it greatly affects the atmosphere around the games - it is not as tense as in the Champions League.

UEFA make the proper schedule for both of UCL and UEL for an obvious reason, to make everyone can enjoy both tournaments in different matchdays. Both of winners always compete to get super cup title which there were many winners from UEL side. It's a solid proof that UEL isn't that bad. But if we are talking about UECL, yeah that competition status is much lower below both of UCL and UEL.

The name given to it as a second tier competition in Europe is why people think it isn’t a big competition but if look at The caliber of club’s competing in it then it is only juicy and entertaining just like the Uefa Champions League.

The game between Manchester United and Barcelona has always been a game of entertainment and this year won’t be an exception. I will be cheering United in this game because all round they have a better team to me compared to Barcelona at the moment

Barcelona's defense looks better and in these matches it will be important how well MU attack will play. Barcelona will most likely be able to score, by mid-February Lewandowski should be back in the game, this is very important for them. The MU defense is not that strong, they will focus on the attack. In fact, the match is very difficult, perhaps even worthy of the semi-finals.

I think United offense could be a little weak right now, but their defense is quite good, whereas Barcelona has a great offense but a weaker defense, even though it has been better, still not great. This tells me, maybe these games will be filled with plenty of goals? Like a 4-2 type of score doesn't sound unlikely to me, it sounds quite like how it will probably happen.

I am still believing Barcelona to beat United in these games, but even if they don't, I am expecting a lot of goals. United got a lot better compared to start of the season, and Barcelona has been pretty good all year but somehow played badly at UCL and that's why they are here.

If Manchester United are becoming stronger in English premier it also means they will be tough in the Europa league. Manchester United know they don't have any chance of winning the premier league, this might make them to be serious with the Europa league to win the league.

Sure about that. that's why bookiers were underestimating MU at this time while is slowly going back again to the best form. The match against barcelona will become the hardest match for MU. Ten haag must also try to think the best strategy to prevent barcelona to make goals against MU. I hope that casemiro will be playing so well like when he was in the real madrid.
His experience against barcelona will be very helpful for the team. Casemiro has become the most important defenders in MU now. He was winning UCL so many times.
That will be so easy for casemiro to prevent lewandowki. Mu has a chance to did the same thing like what frankfurt did in the past

I expect that manchester united might will win one leg whether it's home or away and the bookies earned a lot of advantage from those unexpected result , barcelona did really a great job so far to maintain the first place at the domestic league , they just need to keep that form up till the europa league restardted.

Manchester united proggressing as well to keep winning every matches. Won't be an easy one to pick which one.

Manchester City is not in the Europa League so Manchester United will only meet Manchester City in the Premier League or the FA Cup this season. And for Barcelona it is very clear that they will face Manchester United because the play-off match in mid-February will take place at Camp Nou where Manchester United will play away there against Barcelona. So Arsenal doesn't need to be discussed at this point because Manchester United and Barcelona still have to pay attention and need to fight better in the play-off round.

Manchester United will play against Barcelona in the Europa League in the middle of February, while Manchester United will play against Manchester City and Arsenal this month in the Premier League. It doesn't matter if Manchester United play against them in the European League or in the English Premier League because what is clear, these are tough opponents and that is a big match which of course has high tension.
But if Manchester United can produce good results when Manchester United play against these teams, then it is certain that Erik ten Hag has succeeded in building Manchester United for the better.

There is still plenty of time for Manchester United to prepare for matches in the Europa League, because they also have to be careful. Because if a lot of their players are injured then that will be something that is not good, because playing against Barcelona in the Europa League, of course Manchester United must be able to play all the main players.
But at this moment, I really believe that Manchester United is still better and has a chance to qualify for the next round by getting rid of Barcelona.

the European league does not contain weak clubs. everything has changed, those who performed well last season so can enter the Champions League round. but because they made mistakes at the start of the season, and lost a lot of matches they couldn't compete with other European clubs in the champions league.
the meeting between Barcelona and United is a hot match. I want to watch it. United is doing pretty well at the moment. but I want to see Barcelona take the lead in this fight.

The Europa league is not as difficult as the Champions league. In the Champions League their are lots of tough teams to face while in the Europa League it consists of many small teams and few big teams. In the europa league big teams are always at the top of performance.

The champions league is surely more difficult than the Europa league, it is a better competition with a stronger competition. There is a reason why teams that finish 3rd in the champions leaue group stage drop to the Europa league, it is because it is a lower competition. But the Europa league is also tough, especially when there are many teams in it that are supposed to be in the champions league, but are in the Europa league because they were not at their best, just like this season that we have some big teams like Manchester United and Barcelona in the Europa league, these are teams that have won many champions league trophies, so the Europa league is going to be very interesting this season.

Barcelona is facing difficulties in the la liga while MU is starting to handle the performance to beat another team easily in EPL. The quality from MU can be seen from last 5 matches. MU is only losing one time but MU has been starting to perform so well

Barcelona is still firmly at the top of the Laliga standings
Their performance is still quite good, we can see their statistics in Laliga since the start of the season. I realize Manchester United have come a long way lately but that happened in the EPL. Erik Ten Hag needs to mentally prepare his players because next month they will face teams from other leagues like Barcelona, this will of course be different from their opponents in the EPL

Manchester united will play against big teams like Manchester City, arsenal and Barcelona. Manchester United performance is not poor, I think they are ready to play against any tesm with their form of performance.

The Europa League has its own level of difficulty because it is play by teams from several leagues, not the same as what they face in the premier league.
If they feel the chances of winning the EPL title will be tough then the same will happen in the Europa League as Manchester United will be competing with the like of Freiburg, Barcelona, Feyenoord, Sociedad and Arsenal.

It cannot be denied that now the Europa League has become quite interesting, apart from the fact that I see the teams that are now as a mini-UCL, because they are high-elite teams, of course, in this they all have the need and desire to win, it makes them A lot is missing, now, according to this, everyone expects the match between Barcelona and Man United and I lean much more towards Barcelona because of the football they have shown, I'm not a fan of them, but I like good football, I like it recognize when they do a very good job, this is clear that things at Barcelona are improving a lot, but let's not forget that they will meet Juve, Roma, they are high caliber teams.

Of course we see that Man United cares and they want to cover a lot:

Manchester United selections vs Everton could hint at team vs Man City

he question is not how 'weak' the United side will be but how strong they are. The most Erik ten Hag has rotated was against Real Sociedad in United's opening Europa League game when the recalls included Harry Maguire, Casemiro, Fred and Cristiano Ronaldo.

On a sterile night hours after the Queen had died, United lost through a ridiculous refereeing decision and Ten Hag has not entertained mass rotation since.

The derby is eight days away and United have to get Lisandro Martinez and Diogo Dalot up to speed as neither have started a match in four weeks. Raphael Varane is needed more tonight than against Charlton on Tuesday.

Erik Ten Hag's squad seems to be entering a very positive trend. they won 5 matches, in all competitions. and uniquely, Rashford is the player Ten Hag can rely on the most. as I said in many previous posts, that I'm pretty sure Ten Hag will bring United to a big change compared to previous coaches, except Six Alex Ferguson.

Ten Hag brought United much more discipline, the bond between their players began to form especially after Ronaldo left. Ten Hag's patterns and strategies are starting to take shape, he just needs a few new arrivals both this January and next summer's transfer market window. even so, United still have tough matches, especially in their Domestic League. and what is certain, Ten Hag knows very well that he cannot always rely on Rashford with high performance from match to match. automatically, Man United will bring in several newcomers, unfortunately we don't know for sure who they will bring in, especially for pure strikers.

On the other hand, Barcelona have experienced improvements in their defense and this was proven during the match vs Atletico Madrid. so, we can't be sure because these two teams haven't really shown their best performance yet.

Hopefully Erik Ten Hag can usher in a golden era like Alex Ferguson did, even if it's very difficult.
Since Erik Ten Hag took charge of this team, indeed something has changed, in his hands the shape of Manchester United's game is clear. Starting from small things, for example, usually Manchester United are not so brave in holding the ball for too long, they are more likely to immediately push into the attack line even though it ends in failure. But in the hands of Ten Hag they were more daring in holding the ball and building up attacks from below.

Manchester United can have the opportunity to win the English Premier League. The league is still open in as much as more than half of the games is not played. Don't rule Manchester United out.
Approaching the Europa League it is important to note that Manchester United playing pattern has changed for better. At every match they play, they approch it with a winning mentality which is a very good thing for the club.

I have the same thought like you. MU has been showing great improvements since the middle of seasons and MU is also doing so well in the latest of match. Barcelona is also very strong. I can't wait the match between both. that's gonna be the best match to be watched. It seems like that we will be having so many hottest match in the europa league started with barcelona against MU.
This the most hottest match that have been waiting by so many fans in various places. Will MU beat barcelona easily in the first leg of match? This is a very interesting question for sure.

Sevilla - PSV is going to be one of the challenging matchups in this stage of the Europa League.

This is the first ever meet of these teams with each other. I'm seeing PSV one step ahead truthfully. Because Sevilla have been terrible for a long time period since the beginning of the season. They just defeated Getafe in the La Liga and finally got a win after a long break. I don't know if they can improve their form very much until the first leg here. But it will be a really difficult for them to be completely ready until then. PSV are already one of the decent teams of the tournament. Sevilla are a big threat on paper because of their history here maybe. But realistically, they aren't better than PSV for now.

Sevilla is one of the most succesful club in europa league history ... despite they are playing the season awfully as they are sitting at 17th at the league standing and fighting the relegation zone ... sad to see such big club in terrible form but they seems ready to recover.

And europa league could become the starting point , would be a tricky to pick between the two.

I think in this match PSV will be the favorites because Sevilla's current form is erratic. It would be a different view if Sevilla could perform like last season where they showed impressive performances. Unlike this season, I have to say they are one of the worst teams, for a team that did well last season. Maybe this will be a game PSV will win, that's my prediction for now.
