Casemiro will be available fresh for the game against Barcelona it will be the first game since he left La Liga against a Spanish side
Rashford should just be in the right position so he can always score those goals
Garnacho and Sancho can both come up at the wings to create chances

With this combination things looking amazing for the Manchester United in first leg of this round which is going to be play at Barcelona and Casemiro and Rashford both are key players for them with this deadly combination they already achieve good successes if they are able to handle this all and having something positive then surely things could be at the top for the Manchester United in long run for their success in Premier League and next year's Champions League because right now they are having fair chance for staying into top four and having good results in all other three competitions which are they involved and doing good job under Erik ten Hag in this season after having poor start.

I wasn't sure whether this competition is going to be interesting or not. If Manchester United performed as badly as they did in the beginning of the season, I think it wouldn't have been such an interesting game. Now that Barcelona is performing so well and Manchester United is also doing quite well, this game is going to be a nice one to watch for sure.

The bad thing about it is that they are meeting so early on. Both teams would have had a positive impact on the competition throughout the entire tournament. Anyway, one is going to be kicked out and it is quite a difficult call who that is going to be. I believe that Barcelona is going to make it. Their defense is so strong and in my opinion that is probably going to be the key.

It is going to be a torque of war for both Manchester united and Barcelona on Thursday, Manchester united won their match today with brilliant goals which Rashford scored the first goal. Due to the match selection of players it shows that Manchester united is preparing seriously for the clash with Barcelona.

Barcelona has a good team and are playing good football by winning their recent matches. Lewandoski is going to be the man which the team will be looking up to for their goals,which he wouldn't disappoint his team. Eric Ten Hag is more experience than Xavi and I think this will also count on the game.

On the one hand it is great to have some good games in the Europa League so early on during the final stages as that makes it more exciting to watch those games as well, but on the other hand it's sad as one of the big favorites gets kicked out already. Just looking at the tables in national competitions one would think that Barcelona is likely going to make it here, but I think this is an even game.

Both have their strengths and both are more or less on fire. In the beginning when they failed to qualify for the Champions League final round I thought they might not be motivated enough to give their very best in the Europa League, but I think at this stage of the season they are beyond it and will try to take it home. That could be a first nice little festival we are looking forward to here.

No doubt that Lewandowski is in great shape and Manchester also has its qualities offensively. I think it is going to be a close fight in the end. Barcelona's defense is incredible of course and that might be the key to the next round for them.
