We simulated Barcelona vs Manchester United to get a Europa League score prediction

Manchester United's Europa League campaign resumes on Thursday night as they face a tough test against Barcelona in the Round of 32.

After missing out on top spot in Group E of the Europa League to Real Sociedad on goal difference, United finished second, meaning they would have to face a team dropping down from the Champions League in the Round of 32 rather than advancing through to the last-16. United were arguably handed the toughest opposition available in Barcelona, with the Spanish giants currently leading La Liga by 11 points whilst conceding just seven goals in 21 league games.

Erik ten Hag has been handed some squad selection issues ahead of the clash, with both Lisandro Martinez and Marcel Sabitzer suspended after accumulating too many yellow cards. Anthony Martial, Antony and Scott McTominay all missed training the day before the clash, whilst Casemiro is available with his current suspension not impacting the Europa League.
