Manchester United gradually occupying Barcelona’s extra-terrestrial planet
It looks like extra-terrestrial Barcelona are no more alone on their out-of-this-world planet. The new generation of Alex Ferguson’s Red Devils seems to have joined the Catalans up there.
A Barcelona-Manchester United matchup in the UEFA Champions League final this season will arguably confirm this opinion. The two powerhouses have met twice in only 3 European finals since 2009 with results explaining that Barcelona remain a mile ahead of Manchester United.
Bitter memories… the two games that pushed Man United to become a better team
What Red Devils supporters witnessed at the Stadio Olimpico in 2009 was rather humiliating. How did the good old Fergie seem so lost in tactics against a manager as inexperienced—yet cunning—as Pep Guardiola?
Ryan Giggs Continues on the Path to Becoming the Greatest Manchester United Player Ever
Manchester United began their UEFA Champions League campaign with a 1-1 draw at Benfica, and it was a very familiar name on the score sheet.
Benfica took the lead through Paraguay international striker Oscar Cardozo, but the legendary Ryan Giggs struck just before half-time to earn a point for the Red Devil’s.Much of the attention on United’s awesome start to the season has been focused on the ‘new breed’ at Old Trafford that is rife with young and exciting talent.
Young defenders Phil Jones and Jonny Evans have played well in front of 20 year-old goalkeeper David De Gea. In midfield Ashley Young and Tom Cleverley have produced a vibrant and attacking brand of football that is complimenting a lethal attack.
At the spearhead of United’s lineup, Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck and Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez are firing in the goals, with Rooney a relative greybeard at the age of 25.

Barca-United Final: Predicting The Line-Up Of Sir Alex's Men
Predicting a team's line-up may be easy at times but when they go against Barcelona, the whole mentality of team selection is brought to a new dimension. Live Soccer TV previews.
Cristiano Ronaldo was always regarded as a winger during his time at Old Trafford. Not to say that he can't fit into the centre forward position but his best years at United saw him freely roaming and switching flanks as a genuine out and out winger. But it was that semi final triumph against Arsenal that persuaded Sir Alex after all. Ronaldo was employed in the wings and it weaved magic as United swept off the Gunners to march into the final at Rome. But boy did all go wrong at the Stadio Olimpico.
Basically, teams have always altered their formation while going against the mighty Catalans. 'Defensive' or maybe 'Negative Tactics' were probably the cliche's during build up to a game against Barcelona. Real Madrid certainly stopped the Catalans at the Mestalla not so long ago. But considering what happened when they clashed at the Nou Camp- with the situation not allowing Jose Mourinho's men to set-up defensively is raising up doubts over whether a team should go defensive against Barcelona.
