So far Barcelona is doing well better as they should with the arrival of the date of the clash between premier league side Manchester United. Barcelona shouldn't be taken so highly even if thru have won some of those game lately, it is wrong to think that Manchester United can't hurt Barcelona when it comes to that game. In the area of midfielder's, that's the are Manchester United will definitely use while trying to win that game, once Barcelona's midfielder's can not connect with the attackers the game would be won because they don't have the quality Man United has in midfied.
Barcelona have won last 6 matches in a row all competition between La Liga, Super Spanish Cup Final until won at Copa Del Rey, not doubt with Barcelona consistency performance in this season and success managed La Liga standing behind 5 points left from Real Madrid. Looking consistency performance in domestic league seems Barcelona is favorite team winning in UEFA Europe League playoff round against Manchester United.
Right now Manchester United have solid player in midfielder after new signing Marcel Sabitzer from Bayern Munich with loan option, but Barcelona have bad news without any new player signing and they have losing Dembele three weeks later after injuring.
