Manchester United vs Barcelona predicted lineups, team news and odds for Europa League tie

All eyes are on Old Trafford as Manchester United face Barcelona for a place in the Europa League round of 16 after playing out a first leg 2-2 draw in the Catalan capital last week.

After beating Leicester City in between the two legs, the attention of Erik ten Hag almost immediately switched to this upcoming challenge, and the manager evidenced the magnitude of the match during an exchange with supporters surrounding the Old Trafford tunnel. "Come Thursday," Ten Hag said. "It's a big game, make sure you are there, and we beat Barcelona together."

Thursday has now come, and the supporters will be there, so all that is left to do is the small matter of beating Barcelona, a feat not achieved in a competitive match for approaching 15 years in the process of reaching the 2008 Champions League final courtesy of that screamer from Paul Scholes. Ahead of this latest instalment in such a historic fixture, the Manchester Evening News has you covered with all of the information that you need to know ahead of kick-off.
