We can beat Barca, would be nice to get some revenge.
A good draw and great game if we have fully fit players.

Dembele is out for a month isn't he? When is the tie?
Barca start slow these days and rely on Messi too much through the middle, this must be the game of Herreras life.

I like it and I do think we can beat them if we set up things right and raise our game.

I would play with Fred and Herrera in midfield and play Pogba further forward. Then have Martial and Lingard on the counter unless Rashford finds form again.

BBC have stated Barcelona v United is a repeat of the 1999 final.

Pretty sure it was Bayern we beat you dipshits.

I prefer home games first. The nerves of a 2nd leg being a home game with the opposition's potential away goals is too much. We have score atleast a couple at the Nou Camp to stand a chance.



Oh good then. It's much better for us to get the home game done with first.
Barca are formidable at home. I'd rather us try and scrape a 1-1 away and then head back to OT with the crowd behind us.

Tough draw. That's what the CL is about though playing against Europes best. Liverpool and City already looking towards the semis I imagine.

Ya, definitely prefer barca over city and Liverpool to be honest. Still a tough draw obviously.

Ok with this. Much rather play Barcelona than one of the other PL clubs.

Reading will be our only favourable cup draw this year by the looks of it. Even if we make it through Barca we'll face Liverpool in the semis.

No one gave us a chance against psg. People who think Barca will steamroll us will be in for a surprise.

Barcelona are hardly convincing this season. Are they better than us? Sure. But we beat Juventus and PSG away who are both better than Barcelona.

We'll go through just to get spanked by City.
Juventus and PSG are not better than Barcelona.

The worst possible draw. We have nothing to lose.

couldnt we get at least the winner of Ajax/Juve in the semis if we make it, no but to top it off Liverpool. Absolute disaster draw

Couldn't have gone much worse but at this stage you need big results anyway.

Both City and Liverpool getting good draws this season while we always seem to get the hardest fixture.

That's what I thought. Not the worst draw and I love watching United play Barca, although we'll be in that minging pink kit rather than the classic all white.

Liverpool are fecking lucky bastards. At least they can't win the treble.

Hope we go after them with pace, they can be overrun in my opinion, it happened v Roma last season. The sit back tactics and wait till Messi or someone picks us apart won't work here, not at home anyway. Tough draw but it's def not the best Barca side of the last 8 years or whatever.

PSG, Barca, Liverpool then City probably for us to win it. Insane.

United have had no luck in any the cup draws. City and the dippers have the cheek to say everything is corrupt in Uniteds favour.
