The bookmakers are also excited about the Barcelona vs Manchester United tie, it would fetch streams and profits for all parties involved. With Barcelona struggling but still top of their league, i think they have the edge to get into the europa league last 16. What are your predictions
The competition is definitely fierce, although it's still a long way to go. But it belongs to a very interesting match to wait and the Manchester United side will definitely prepare themselves better when they see their opponent is Barcelona who are currently leaders in La Liga. I can't make more in-depth predictions for their match, but I would prefer Manchester United to win at home to Barcelona in the knockout round.
Basically I believe Erik ten Hag can do better than Xavi so yes, considering the coach I'm pretty sure that Manchester United have a chance to win and qualify for the next round.
But if I consider the quality of the players I prefer Barcelona although indeed, if I consider further the overall strength of the team I will still choose Manchester United.
But at least the prediction for me is only right at this moment, because I believe there will be many changes that will occur after the January transfer window. Because at this time of the season break, there will be a World Cup, of course, every team will get great players who come or become famous in the World Cup later.
But indeed, even so the changes will not be as big as imagined especially for Barcelona. Because Barcelona basically financially they are not so good so yes, maybe a big change will happen at Manchester United which maybe Ronaldo leaves and Manchester United sign new players which maybe it will also have a good impact for Manchester United.
