I consider Barcelona as the favorite in Barcelona vs United match. Because the Barcelona team may have played poorly in a few matches in the Champions League. But they have managed to maintain their dominance in La Liga. On the other hand, Manchester United's performance is not stable. They are not playing well in the Premier League. At the same time, despite winning a few matches in the Europa League, their performance was not good. Manchester United have also had a lot of trouble winning against weaker teams. And so I don't think it is possible to win against Barcelona with such a shaky squad.

Both of them already have distant differences if we compare their current conditions. At that time both of them were in a very good performance. This season in the Barcelona squad only Sergio Busquet is part of the 2008/2009 season. The new Sergi Roberto was promoted into the Barcelona squad in the 2010/2011 season and became the second player to celebrate the Barcelona party to beat Manchester United in the final.

In the Manchester United squad, only Cristiano Ronaldo became one of the historical actors they met in the final at that time. That is, their condition is currently being reorganized by Erik Ten Hag and Xavi Hernandez.



When referring to the depth of the player, the player's flying hours in my opinion are the same.
The most likely scenario in UEFA Europe League this season in my opinion Manchester United will get rid of Barcelona.

I'm not trying to get complacent with Barcelona so far this season, I understand since the season began there have been some convincing performance from Barcelona while there have also been very abysmal performances as well, but I don't know why feel quite confident ahead of the tie against Man United, I really doubt Barcelona will find it difficult to get past the in the next stage, I would have been more wary of some other underestimated clubs but Barcelona are well aware of the threat Man United would pose, and I don't think it will be very close to what Inter and Bayern Munich displayed.

If the match between Barcelona and Manchester United will be played this year, I would have assured you that Barcelona will win but that's not the case. Both teams need to work on themselves before the match takes place by next year. The expectations are too high for both teams' fans. The match will be stuff, it's difficult to start predicting who wins or lose cos this is their first meeting in football. Transfer windows is next year, nobody knows the kind of players Manchester United will go for to join their team

Basically the teams from the English Premier League are strong teams, because the competition in the English Premier League is very difficult. I can admit that if the Premier League team can stay in the top six or at least in the top ten in the Premier League standings, then they can be said to be a strong team if they compete in European tournaments.
So yes, I personally think that although Barcelona are good in La Liga and Manchester United are not the top team in the Premier League table, it seems that their quality at this moment is not much different.

I admit that Erik ten Hag's progress has been quite good, although it will still take time for Manchester United to regain their full form.
But even so, Manchester United look better under Erik ten Hag. So against Barcelona it doesn't mean that Manchester United have lost the chance to win because after all, Erik ten Hag will certainly be able to overcome this obstacle with the ingenuity he has in building the team.

So, these two teams at this moment are still considered to have the same chance, but we don't know what changes will occur after the season break and the transfer market later which may be the chance for both of them to make one of them more dominant to win.

Truly Erik Ten Hag had made an impact on Man Utd squad since assumption of duties as their new manager, he is gradually repositioning and building the team with time the club will be formidable and stronger, however the fact that Man Utd playing Barcelona in Europa shouldn't be written off as the underdog because of Barcelona topping Laliga that shouldn't be the yardstick to rate them above the Red Devils, both teams are equal to the task and the match can be won by either sides and it's very obvious that EPL fared better in European competitions this season, Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea performed well in UCL while Arsenal and Man Utd also did well in Europa league.

The match against Aston Villa showed that Ronaldo is not even effective no more for Man United running also has been difficult for him the should in every way look for a good replacement for cristiano ronaldo.
The defense and midfied are doing well they just have to start scoring goals I mean the striker's for United. I don't know if he will improve when they play against Barcelona. It will be a big test for Xavi and Ten Hag

Manchester United became a new test for Barcelona, previously Barcelona had failed to compete with Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. Barcelona seems to be going through difficult times on the European stage, being met with Manchester United makes Barcelona have to work even harder.
In terms of quality and cohesiveness the Barcelona team is superior to Manchester United, Barcelona also appears consistent in the domestic league. The comparison of the sharpness of the strikers of the two teams also gives Barcelona an advantage, but Xavi must remain wary of Manchester United's strength.

Barcelona must use the first leg to score as many goals as possible, Barcelona has also started solid again after the defeat to Real Madrid. Barcelona defense has improved, in fact Ter Stegen has kept 11 clean sheets from 13 games in La Liga.

It took time for Erik ten Hag to adjust to the Premier League game, it was not easy to build a solid team, especially since the Premier League is the toughest competition, almost all clubs have players who are quite good both physically and in their game performance. If you look at the statistics, the two clubs are very far apart. different, it's true that Barca is more superior but Manchester United's game, can't be underestimated, sometimes they can make the opposing club troublesome, it's true what you say about the game that is still unstable in their league, I think this will be a very exciting match, there will even be extra time in the meeting of these two Clubs..

it was very sad for Barca and Manchester United when they had to meet in the play-offs of the European league this season, they were supposed to meet in the Champions league, but that's how football changes coaches and players in and out of teams resulting in both teams ending up only in this phase, I sure both teams will prove who can go further in the European leagues, but Barca's chances are more open because they are more consistent in the local league compared to MU which is still unstable in the league

If I see a match it will be done with the Home away system. So Barcelona had to make the most of their first game at Cam Nou. They need to be able to make as many goals as possible.
I feel confident that if Barcelona play in Spain, Barcelona will win. Team wise they are better than Man United for now. But the distance of the game is still very far. They will pass the transfer market and the world cup. Maybe there will be a lot of surprises in the transfer market later.

I think the departure of Ronaldo will be good for both Ronaldo and United. At the moment, he does not fit into the Ten Hag scheme in the best way, plus they already had a personal conflict - why torture each other if there is an option to find a place where Ronaldo's game will fit into the club's usual scheme? And United will find a new striker they can count on for the long term.
As for the game itself, it will not become less interesting, like the Clasico, which has not lost its significance after many players of the previous generation left Real and Barcelona.

The meeting of 2 clubs which in my opinion the Europa League has prepared this match as a party. One club that failed in the Champions League and another that failed not to enter the Champions League were brought together so quickly to immediately entertain the Europa League to make it memorable. Man United vs Barcelona, both have prestige for each other, of course people can't wait to know the extent of the difference between the two. On the one hand, Man United has a pretty good coach but not ideal for his players. On the Barcelona side, they have players who are quite ideal but the condition of the coach is mostly always blundering in strategy.

There is only 1 ticket to the 16 European League for both teams and the more prepared team will get it. Barca currently looks to be a better team than United. but in this decisive match, I'm not sure of many predictions. the reality on the ground can always be different. both teams I think deserve to be 16 big. unfortunately one of them will not get a ticket.

It seems, this match is a tense match considering these two teams have a history of meeting in the 2008-09 and 2010-11 champions league finals, where Barcelona won 2 champions league final matchups.

In this playoffs, looks like a final match. however, if we compare between these two teams. for now, Barcelona is more prepared if we refer to the depth of the players, the pattern of play and the consistency of the performance.
As for Manchester United, Erik Ten Hag's troops are not ready mentally, teamwork, bonding between the players and the coach.  even so, Ten Hag still has enough time to build his team even stronger.  he has a lot of work to fix, especially in the Manchester United front line that lacks sharpness.  at least Ten Hag knew what he had to fix.

As for Barcelona, ​​Barcelona has quite impressive statistics in the domestic league. however, they struggle and tend to underperform if they play in other competitions, for example when they are eliminated in the champions league. both Ten Hag and Xavi Hernandez, still have a long time to prepare their troops for the playoffs later.

If I'm not mistaken, there seems to have been a statement made by Ronaldo himself that he is willing to have his salary reduced if a new team is willing to sign him.
That means, the issue of salary is no longer a major problem because the problem is they or the big teams that previously wanted Ronaldo but finally canceled their intention.
One reason is, Ronaldo's declining performance and Ronaldo's attitude when he is more often on the bench is something of concern and consideration and makes the team that was initially interested in him then cancel their interest.

So yes, even so there are still some teams that have an interest in Ronaldo for example Napoli and maybe also Chelsea.
I personally don't really look forward to where Ronaldo will go because Ronaldo's ambition is very big for a title, I think it will still be difficult to achieve.
Because after all, there was a golden time he had but for now, I don't think Ronaldo has much of a chance to get it.

In fact, if Ronaldo, for example, actually joined Napoli, in fact playing at Napoli also does not guarantee him to get the Champions League title, because we certainly know that the rival teams in the Champions League are strong teams.
Likewise with the Europa League, Manchester United still cannot guarantee to win the title, reflecting from last season when Barcelona could rise up in La Liga but in the end they also failed in the Europa League.

Absolutely! That Barcelona gets Manchester United is kind of unpleasant for the teams but also for the fans. We probably get to see at least Ronaldo start against Barcelona as that team used to be his biggest rival for a long time during his prime. Although it was more about Messi back at the time, I think he will try to give his very best and prove he is still on top of things by contributing to Barcelona's defeat. They start with an away game against Barcelona, which is a good thing for them. But I do think that Barcelona has an edge here because of their defense.

Even if he continues as a player of Manchester United, the manager may not play him. Ronaldo couldn't find much of the chance he wanted at Manchester United. He will probably be transferred to another team during the half-time transfer window. The biggest problem for this transfer is the salary. The team that wants to buy Ronaldo must allocate a large salary budget.

It is likely that this will be worth watching, although there are still many who think that for a big club the Europa League is not too valuable, but for Manchester United and Barcelona this must still be taken especially considering Xavi's condition, which now clearly needs a trophy to survive.
On the other hand, for Manchester United, this must still be prioritized because it is difficult for them to get a trophy in the EPL so this can be at stake for the Europa League so that they at least feel a more competitive competition here.

Actually I can't say it's an ideal final because I'm still a little more confident for Arsenal than Manchester United if you look at his form this season. But on the other hand it's still a good fight because they haven't seen each other for a long time and they last met in the Champions League with different players.

"If Barcelona win" then the points are for them not for Manchester United.
"If Barcelona draw" then they will get 1 point.
"If Manchester United loses" then points for Barcelona not for Manchester United.
"I think Barcelona will win but it's difficult". "I think Manchester United will be difficult to win." Obviously difficult because the 11 players Manchester United or Barcelona are not on duty just to stand on the pitch for 90 minutes.

Too many thoughts will make it difficult for us to breathe.

We must be clear in making choices. Because every analysis needs accurate statistical data.
The Barcelona vs Manchester United match is definitely a big game and it will be the most financially profitable match for all parties including competition organizers, clubs to bookies.
