Supercomputer issues Manchester United prediction in Europa League after Barcelona draw

Manchester United have been given a four per cent chance of winning the Europa League this season after being drawn against Spanish giants Barcelona in the play-offs.

Despite beating Real Sociedad in their Group E showdown, United finished as runners-up there, as they needed to win that final match by two goals. Alejandro Garnacho settled the scores at the Anoeta Stadium on Thursday night with his first senior strike for the club.

It was a magical moment for the highly-rated Argentina starlet, but with no second goal to follow it meant United would have to do last-16 progression the hard way. That has been underlined with Erik ten Hag and his team being drawn against Barcelona following their elimination from the Champions League.
