Manchester United is performing poorly against strong clubs this year. I don't think they can win against Barcelona. This will probably be one of the most interesting matches. If Barcelona can beat Manchester United, we can probably say that they can win the Europa League. Especially since Barcelona is now playing better than Real Madrid in La Liga.
This game is unpredictable, I feel anything can happen. Despite Manchester united are not in a good shape, they are still trying to get improve. Manchester United with their current quality of performance they are capable in challenging Barcelona. This is a game anything of the team can luckily win.
Even when manchester united was not in a good shape and i think that manchester has a big chance to win the game. Manchester united is slowly moving up again. The perfomance is not yet reached its best performance but i think that if the current performance from MU was equal to the barcelona. I will not even try to underestimate manchester united for now caused by it can make Barcelona going back anytime. that reminds me when people were picking barcelona over frankfurt and did you know that barcelona lose against frankfurt?
that's the story of last year but that's still worthy to take some lessons if any team in europa league was also very strong at this moment too.
Presently, I don't think Manchester United will be able to face Barcelona. they have succeeded in winning 3 matches only out of 7 and that's a prove of their weakness. Manchester United in their best form doesn't always find it easy to defeat Barcelona not to talk more now that their first-team players like Sancho, Varane, Martinez, and Maguire, are out due to injury. though FC Barcelona also has injured players, I think their second option is up to the tax than I view from Manchester United's side.
Even if all those players with injuries were back to play and maybe they will recover until the encounter it would make no difference.This year Barcelona is in top form compared to Manchester United which has not been consistent at all nor in the Premier League and nor in Europa League,they even had a lost game at home against Real Sociedad which is a much weaker team compared to Barcelona.Anything can happen because we are playing a 2 match elimination style in this phase of the competition and any team can bring up 2 good games but overall in normal circumstances it should be Barcelona that will go through.
