I'm sure Man United will develop much more under coach Erik Ten Hag. the battle between Barcelona and Manchester United still leaves time, at least Man United will prepare their troops to face Barcelona in the playoffs later. and I think Barcelona will do the same. So, let's see how these two teams develop when they play their matches in the domestic league.
Both Ten Hag and Xavi are building their squads to win the Europa League title. They still have enough time to remove the weaknesses within the party and strengthen the party. But if the players are not able to consistently perform well, the team's problems will not be solved. However, both teams have strong squads. And they have a lot of talented star players. As their performance is not consistent, no definite prediction can be made about this match.
The way Manchester United is becoming tough makes me feel as if it won't be possible for Barcelona to defeat them. Ten Hag is really strengthening Manchester United. I feel Manchester United is more stronger than Barcelona, Manchester United is very tough in defence which can be a problem for Barcelona.
If I were United's coach, I would not take Barcelona lightly. because, however, United have not been on the perfect track. meaning, Man United's strength is still in the development stage. Ten Hag was well aware that his team was not yet at the level he wanted. although, Ten Hag was able to take United in a better direction in just six months.
but that does not mean, Erik Ten Hag's squad is already at the real level. moreover, if it is used as a benchmark that United are already on their best track. for me, United still need to develop their game again.
At least from my point of view, The Red Devils haven't really shown anything special. that's why, Ten Hag prefer for the next season. proved, United did not bring in sharp strikers who are more established and very well prepared.
On the other hand, Barcelona has a resource of players who have. the problem lies with Xavi, how he formulates the strategies and formations he employs. what's more, Barcelona has Lewandowski, Dembele, Gavi, Pedri and De Jong. let's review, when Barcelona toppled Madrid in the supercopa de espana match. Barcelona gave a surprise with his new strategy, Xavi changed the formation pattern to 4-2-3-1, and that made the key to Barcelona's victory over Real Madrid in that match, regardless of the performance displayed by the Barcelona players. well, Barcelona has the power to subvert United. however, we won't find out until the Europa League playoffs begin.
