The squad depth that Barcelona and Manchester United have is almost the same, both teams are performing well in the domestic league with continuous wins.
several pillar players in the Ten Hag squad experienced injury problems. and it haunts the Ten Hags today. We can see how United's strength is when several of its flagship players are absent. if they have good quality substitutes it will be a fortune for United.
but if they do badly it will be Barcelona's fortune. There is still some time before United's game against Barcelona. I still hope both of them play to their best abilities.
This is a big problem. If a squad player gets injured before an important match, it becomes difficult for the team to maintain a stable performance. And several Manchester United players have injury problems. There are very few players on the team who consistently perform in every match. Ten Hag should be more aware of the fitness of their players. If the fitness of the players is not good then it is not possible to maintain consistency.
1 more week is left for both teams to strengthen themselves and prepare more. Both parties have several internal weaknesses. I think the coach's match strategy will play a more important role than the performance of the team's players in this match.
