Manchester United played very well even though the match ended in defeat, Manchester United conceded in the last minute which made them go home empty handed.
The conditions of Manchester United and Barcelona are both in the best form in their respective leagues, this game is one of the most awaited by football fans. The battle between these two teams will be played at a high tempo, Manchester United must find the right strategy to break into Barcelona defense which is very strong this season. Barcelona only conceded 6 goals from 17 games played in La Liga, Barcelona solid defense made Ten Hag have to find a gap to score in this match.

Honestly, they were playing against the leader of the league and they lost by the last minute goal, I would say that's a big improvement for them as it is. The fact that they are in UCL spot right now and look like possibly the third team by the end of the season (fighting with Newcastle for that spot) is the answer to everyone's question about Ronaldo.

He was a great player but he wasn't in their game plan and as soon as he left (and a bit before that) they started to win and be better because they didn't have to put a player in where he doesn't belong. This doesn't make him bad, he just wasn't in their plans for the season and that's it. You wait and see, next year United will be even better.

I know the strength has been revived, agility is boosted, and everyone is ready to give his best. But all I know is, Even as Successful as Manchester United seems to be, with Erikson and Casemiro on the bench or long-term injuries, the whole team will be affected. Where I am driving at is that Ronaldo will still fit into Ten Hag'a game plan and will be productive at Manchester united. The only problem when he was around was because of a Dm and Cmd, and casemiro and Erikson were yet to discover themselves.

Ronaldo was old story and we must move on from him. Ronaldo got lots of money from al nassr. We shall focus to the upcoming match rather than mentioning him again. Casemiro will be the only one who can prevent Lewandowski.
Bookies didn't trust manchester united in an upcoming match. Barcelona is much preferable compared to manchester united. a bit difficult to pick one from both but MU is also potentially winning against Barcelona.
I hope that rashford will be on fire against Barcelona. His duel against barcelona's winger will be a good one.

Manchester United's relationship with Ronaldo has ended. So I'd say it's better not to discuss it.

Both Barcelona and Manchester United are playing well. Both Barcelona and Manchester United won yesterday's match. And both the teams were able to dominate and win. So it becomes more difficult for me to predict which team will win.

Lewandowski and Dembele have been performing consistently well. And Barcelona's main strength is their midfield. Barcelona's performances are now very stable due to the consistently good performances of the midfielders. But their defense is still weak. I would say, if against Manchester United, Barcelona's defenders can play well, then Barcelona has a chance to win.

@Minor Miner I have said this before too and Ill repeat that Im pretty sure that Barcelona doesnt care about winning the Europa League, because theyre genuinely close to winning the La Liga title hence it doesnt make any sense for them to prioritise playing on Thursday night. Furthermore Manchester United can unlock their defence because of the pace of Rashford and hes in phenomenal form, hence Im 100% sure that Manchester United shall win against Barcelona and progress ahead.

I can't agree that Barcelona doesn't care about winning the Europa League title. Because Xavi's career as a coach has just begun. However, Xavi's main goal now is to stabilize and strengthen the Barcelona team. And for this, he spent a lot of money to recruit star players. But at the same time, he will also wants to win the title. The Europa League title may not matter much to the Barcelona club. But it is important for Xavi's coaching career. And so I think Xavi will now prepare his squad to win both the La Liga and Europa League titles.
