Manchester United form in the Europa league have been at top level, they have only lost one and won 5 games. The playoff fixture against Barcelona will be test of their consistency level because it looks like they are finally finding the balance under Ten Hag's management. Manchester United perform better against top teams and Barcelona will be no different from others but it is a 50/50 game and anyone could win.
for both teams, this fight will be very important. It's hard to predict in this fight. MU is now starting to improve, but sometimes they lose focus. Barcelona also had the same problem.
the match will certainly be interesting, a tactic war between Ten Hag and Xavi. if MU can break the domination of Barcelona's midfield control. it could be an opportunity for MU to get win. now MU has a line of defense and midfield that is quite tough.
