It doesn't matter against which Team Barça is playing. Because it's UCL quarter final. We have a habit to lose, even if it's a farmer's team. And Valvarde can do nothing about it. Most saddest day of my life... 👇

he was not medically fit against lyon before he did those damages to them.. as long as he still has leg to run with the ball, he will always be a game changer.

If you think you have got a problem this week, just think of MU having to face Messi and friends in the QF of the CL, then you will know you have no problem at all.😂

Honestly, there's nothing special about this squad. The only player that makes it outstanding is Messi, remove him(Messi) the team ll become ordinary team that any team can beat anytime.Well, I'll rank d game to be 45% for United and 55% for Barca.

Why put him there if he isn't fit enough for a match? Seeing it as grabbing attention rather than applying actual sense. Replace him or simply leave him out. Missing a game coz of medical complications isn't the end of the world.

The problem Man u hav is that if they play attacking football they will end up living too much space at the back for people like Dembele,coutinho suarez and messi to exploit,because attacking football is also a key for them to beat barca ,since Rasford is the fastest to make that happen ,but another problem that man u has is that ,they are not good in passing or keeping the ball to their feet,as we saw that from PSG match ,in which my advice to man u is,u got tall players like pogba,lukaku,and rasford who are good in the air ,practice ur crossing and set piece ball because if u want to play passing football against barca u will loose ,because for the record EPL clubs do not play passing football better than the Spanish club not to talk of barca which is their tradition,the live and succeed through it,and a team like Man u are not good enough to do that,except Man city though,but like the say we never know ,lets wait and see ,what happens.

Then score 5 goals against Pique, Alba, Roberto, Stegen and Lenglet because Messi is not a defender...

disagree with your opinion, football is a team game, without Messi, Barca is still a strong team
