If Manchester United has any desire to target the Europa League, Ten Hag's men have that opportunity. however, the road facing United first was toppling Barcelona. yes, Ten Hag must make sure his troops overthrow Barcelona first. the reason is, the Europa League playoffs still have a long time lag for United. that way, United still have plenty of opportunities to improve their troops. I'm sure, Ten Hag is a coach who will bring United even better after Ferguson left. United's only problem at the moment is not having a real striker. Game-wise, Manchester United is on the right track. it's just that, Ten Hag still needs his troops to be able to compete at various levels of competition.

Yes, Arsenal is a strong candidate. however, trouble came to the Gunners after one of their strikers was confirmed absent due to injury. As for Barcelona, at least Xavi's troop squad must first prove a win in the playoffs. that way, they have the opportunity to compete for the Europa League trophy.

Manchester United still facing with Barcelona in play off round and seems not easy after leaving by Cristiano Ronaldo who have good record against Barcelona, I know with Manchester United is not strong candidate to win Europe League but seems realistic after looking opportunity with domestic league tittle almost close for Manchester United.

Europe League is most realistic chance for Manchester United to get tittle in this season with new manager Erik Tan Hag, but I think have little impact after conflict with Cristiano Ronaldo. He has experienced and know weakness from Barcelona after won several games trough still with Real Madrid and Juventus.

Not much to expect from Cristiano Ronaldo, even though he has a track record against the Spanish club. Ronaldo has ended at Manchester United, now it's time for Ten Hag and his squad to look to the future. they can, especially if they bring in a really quality centre-forward. Currently the obstacles for Manchester United are the center forwards and attacking midfielders. if Ten Hag gets him in this January transfer window, I'm quite optimistic United will perform very well. to face Barcelona is not a difficult opponent, they have lots of loopholes and weaknesses even though Barcelona's strength is above the level of The Red Devils.

Barcelona could have won in the playoffs later, but the question is. what will Xavi apply, if he still doesn't fix his army. I'm sure Barcelona will find it difficult to meet Manchester United in the playoffs later.
