Barcelona are in for one of their toughest games of the season as they take on Manchester United in the Europa League knockout stages. Both teams have built a strong momentum for the game, and the tie could lean either way.

David de Gea starts in goal for United, and is guarded by a central defence featuring Raphael Varane and Luke Shaw, who replaces the suspended Lisandro Martinez. Tyrell Malacia starts at left-back, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka gets the nod over Diogo Dalot at right-back.

The double pivot features a familiar foe in Casemiro, who is paired up alongside Fred. Bruno Fernandes takes responsibility in an advanced position.

Marcus Rashford will hope to continue his streak as the left-winger, aided by Wout Weghorst as the striker. Jadon Sancho retains his place, and has been placed as the right-winger.
