Manchester United vs Barcelona 23.02.2023

Manchester United gave a good account of themselves in the first leg of this tie, coming from behind to take the lead before the match eventually ended in a 2-2 draw. The return of Casemiro to the starting line-up was a welcome boost, and alongside Fred, they stifled Barcelona’s usually creative midfield and controlled the game for crucial periods.

Barcelona will probably rue the fact that they were unable to grind a win at home in the first leg, despite camping in Manchester United’s half for the last quarter of an hour. A 2-0 win over Cadiz over the weekend helped them maintain their 8-point lead at the top of La Liga. Nevertheless, they face an uphill task trying to get a win at Old Trafford.

Manchester United have been imperious at Old Trafford. They are unbeaten in their last 17 home games, winning 15 and drawing 2. Marcus Rashford has also been devastating at Old Trafford, scoring in the last 7 home games. Barcelona are missing some stars for this game, including Pedri, Gavi, and Dembele. Thus, Manchester United are more likely to qualify from this tie in the end.
