Barcelona sporting director Jordi Cruyff has suggested that the Catalan giants will have to change their style of play in order to combat Manchester United on Thursday night.
The two sides will meet at the Camp Nou for the first leg of their Europa League play off clash, with a place in the knockout stages of the competition up for grabs. Erik ten Hag's side finished second in their group, while Barcelona dropped into the competition after failing to qualify for the Champions League knockout phase.
Xavi's men have been impressive in La Liga this season and currently hold an 11-point lead over rivals Real Madrid in second. The Spanish outfit have the best defensive record in Europe's top-five leagues and will be confident about taking a lead to Old Trafford for the second leg next week.
