Manchester United was left displeased after UEFA announced they will be facing one of the most successful teams in European club competition earlier today. The shock wave of the news could be felt around Old Trafford, as they face off with FC Barcelona.
United face the Spanish side in the next stage of the Europa League after they finished second in their group based on goals difference. United won their last group stage game but the 1-0 win wasn't enough to usurp Real Sociedad from first place.
The unexpected favor Ronaldo would ask to Ten Hag ahead of Barcelona clash
Only he understood the importance of the game, he is the engine of the team
Fans expressed their worries about meeting FC Barcelona thus early in the competition as they'll be a huge block to United exploit in Europa under Erik Ten Hag. This comes following United's growing phase to the season that sees them currently sit fifth in the Premier League
Although the fixture seems like a hard one to take, United will find comfort in the fact that they possess a player who is accustomed to being a huge torment for the Spanish giant, Cristiano Ronaldo. A player whose illustrious years at Madrid is a testament to the quality he brings to the team.
The old Trafford fans have everything to be worried about especially when they consider the depth in quality of Xavi's Barca, with a ruthless goal machine upfront in Robert Lewandowski. It will surely be a tough challenge for Ten Hag's men.
