Barcelona is facing difficulties in the la liga while MU is starting to handle the performance to beat another team easily in EPL. The quality from MU can be seen from last 5 matches. MU is only losing one time but MU has been starting to perform so well

Barcelona is still firmly at the top of the Laliga standings
Their performance is still quite good, we can see their statistics in Laliga since the start of the season. I realize Manchester United have come a long way lately but that happened in the EPL. Erik Ten Hag needs to mentally prepare his players because next month they will face teams from other leagues like Barcelona, this will of course be different from their opponents in the EPL

If Manchester United are becoming stronger in English premier it also means they will be tough in the Europa league. Manchester United know they don't have any chance of winning the premier league, this might make them to be serious with the Europa league to win the league.

The Europa League has its own level of difficulty because it is play by teams from several leagues, not the same as what they face in the premier league.
If they feel the chances of winning the EPL title will be tough then the same will happen in the Europa League as Manchester United will be competing with the like of Freiburg, Barcelona, Feyenoord, Sociedad and Arsenal.

It cannot be denied that now the Europa League has become quite interesting, apart from the fact that I see the teams that are now as a mini-UCL, because they are high-elite teams, of course, in this they all have the need and desire to win, it makes them A lot is missing, now, according to this, everyone expects the match between Barcelona and Man United and I lean much more towards Barcelona because of the football they have shown, I'm not a fan of them, but I like good football, I like it recognize when they do a very good job, this is clear that things at Barcelona are improving a lot, but let's not forget that they will meet Juve, Roma, they are high caliber teams.

Of course we see that Man United cares and they want to cover a lot:

Manchester United selections vs Everton could hint at team vs Man City

he question is not how 'weak' the United side will be but how strong they are. The most Erik ten Hag has rotated was against Real Sociedad in United's opening Europa League game when the recalls included Harry Maguire, Casemiro, Fred and Cristiano Ronaldo.

On a sterile night hours after the Queen had died, United lost through a ridiculous refereeing decision and Ten Hag has not entertained mass rotation since.

The derby is eight days away and United have to get Lisandro Martinez and Diogo Dalot up to speed as neither have started a match in four weeks. Raphael Varane is needed more tonight than against Charlton on Tuesday.
