Team News
Martial, Eriksen and de Beek remain out for the home side. Dembele is out for Barcelona alongside Pedri, who was injured in the 1st leg. Gavi picked up a yellow card last time out which sees him suspended for this.
MUN possible 11:
De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Sabitzer, Sancho, Fernandes, Rashford and Weghorst
BAR possible 11:
ter Stegan, Balde, Christensen, Araujo, Kounde, Kessie, Busquets, de Jong, Raphinha, Lewandowski and Fati
Prediction: Man United 2-1 Barcelona
Barcelona will be missing key players in Pedri, Gavi; who have been instrumental in their success. Hence, slightly light in mid-field.
The incoming players need to replicate the job the 2 youngsters have done all season.
United have Casemiro returning, who is on a three-match league suspension; who has been the player of their season.
With a packed Old Trafford and energy buzzing, we can see United winning this one and sealing qualification to the next round.
Players to watch out for: Casemiro, Rashford, Raphinha and Fati.
