Barcelona are in fine form this season and are currently on top of the table in La Liga. Moreover, to beat a strong team like Barca, United will surely need support from their fans and Ten Hag asked for the same.
Barcelona will be visiting Old Trafford for the Europa League clash on 23rd February.
Can Manchester United stop Barcelona?
Both the teams are looking in great form this season and predicting anything for anyone won’t be easy. Manchester United and Marcus Rashford have been unstoppable since the World Cup. On the other hand, Barcelona have been shaky sometimes, but have only conceded 7 goals in La Liga. However, they were knocked out of the Champions League after losing to Bayern Munich and Inter Milan.
In the first leg, it will be safe to say that Ten Hag won the tactical battle against Xavi, however, it was not enough for the win. With the fans’ support, United will look to defeat Barca this time.
