You cannot be counting Barcelona as favourites to win the Europa League when they have not overcome Manchester United that is a big challenge for them. If you want to count favourites, it will.be fine you mention both of them because anyone that won between Manchester United and Barcelona may likely get to the finals of the Europa League for this season. It is unfortunate that the two big teams met early
I have the same thought. Barcelona is indeed a big team that they are currently in first place in La Liga, but their performance in the European arena was not that great. We all know that they were knocked out of the Champions League, and it is not certain that they will also be able to qualify for the round of 16 in the European league. I think Man United also has the same big chance to qualify for the next round because they have the capability to beat Barcelona.
I really want to see them focused on winning La Liga this season so as they can go off some of those financial crises and woes they're currently having. I'm not trying to be selfish, involved in too many games can see some important player's injured. So I'll want Manchester United to win against Barcelona.
As Per Manchester United, results is all that matters, winning the Europa League under Erik Ten Hag will bring a bit of a big boost in every single Manchester United player's. I hope they win it and qualifies for the Champions League next season.
