Manchester United are yet to find their best form. Although they have won the last few matches, but Manchester United team has to fight hard to win in every match. Manchester United has dropped points this season even against weaker teams. And it is very difficult to win against Barcelona with an unstable team. But Manchester United also have a lot of talented players in their squad. They will certainly want to stop Barcelona. Barcelona won't lose against Manchester United unless they are unlucky.
Yes, Manchester United have yet to find their best form. however, his pattern and rhythm of play is already looking better than at the start of the season. it's just that, they still experience some obstacles and weaknesses that Ten Hag must fix in the future.
so naturally, if Barcelona is superior to Manchester United in the playoffs later. what's more at this time, it is certain that Ronaldo will no longer play with The Red Devils. so, Ten Hag has no other option but to rely on Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford. even so, Manchester United still has time to prepare everything, at least Ten Hag will formulate a formula and strategy to keep up with Barcelona's game.
on the other hand, Barcelona is the favorite and is predicted to overthrow Manchester United.
IMO, this match will be a tough test match for Ten Hag, but that doesn't mean Barcelona will easily win the battle later. this fight will be a fierce battle for the two teams that will compete.
