United should walk away with a win from the Nou Camp. Barcelona FC is in turmoil. Aside from the injuries and suspensions, many of the clubs players are not happy for a number of reasons. Henry has stated he is being played out of position, and is already looking for his next club. Samuel Eto’o told radio station RAC1 “If next year we continue like that, I will leave” . While Ronaldinho is out for the rest of the season due to “injury”.

Mentally, Barcelona is very weak, United should take advantage of this. Messi is the biggest threat. United defenders will need to be careful, Messi is very quick and draws many fouls. Bojan can not be underestimated, the teenager has proven he can score goals, and if United aren’t careful they could pay the price.

Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, and Brown should start in the back. Ronaldo, Scholes, Hargreaves, Anderson, and Nani across the midfield, and Rooney as the lone striker. Giggs cant start because Messi, who plays right wing, will run circles around him. Not to take anything away from the experienced left mid, but the age difference is far to significant. Tevez should be subbed on in the 2nd half, because that is when he is most effective. Lastly, Ronaldo needs to concentrate on making Manchester United better, because that’s when he plays his best.
