Barcelona vs Manchester United Preview
It’s truly a shame Barca isn’t competing in the Champions League because they’re in the midst of a breathtaking campaign in La Liga. Xavi’s side is 11 points clear of Real Madrid at the top of the table and has conceded a measly seven goals in 21 league outings while scoring 43 times. Their only defeat in Spain came way back in October to Los Blancos.
Unfortunately, Blaugrana ended up in a tough UCL group with Inter and Bayern and failed to prevail with a poor 2-1-3 record. But with the way Barcelona is playing since, there is absolutely no doubt the Catalans can go all the way in Europa after bowing out at the quarterfinal stage last term to eventual champions, Frankfurt.

After struggling out of the gates earlier in the Premier League campaign, Manchester United has really found its form in recent months. Erik ten Hag’s squad is comfortably in third spot in the standings and looks well on their way to a return to the Champions League next season.

United is now unbeaten in six matches after a 2-0 win over Leeds on Sunday, with Marcus Rashford once again finding the back of the net. The Englishman is playing the best football of his life right now, bagging 13 goals in 15 appearances since the World Cup. He is undoubtedly the difference-maker for the Red Devils here. Even though Barca’s backline is rock solid, Rashford is more than capable of finding a moment of brilliance. His confidence is sky-high and is always worth a play to score in the Barcelona vs Manchester United prediction.
