Lukaku On The Right

The other strategy that Manchester United can use to win this tie is trying to exploit Barcelona’s weaknesses. One of the weaknesses that are quite obvious is their marauding full-backs.

Jordi Alba will want to push forward at every given opportunity and United should try and exploit that. The best player to use in this instance is Romelu Lukaku, who has the power and pace to try and get behind Alba when he’s on the attack.

Expect Lukaku to start out as the main striker and as the game wears on, he’ll push to the right. If Alba will be his usual marauding self, then Lukaku will have a field day against him.

This may just be one of the secret weapons that Ole may use to outsmart this, obviously superior Barcelona side. Also, with Lukaku on the right, Barcelona will have fewer numbers going forward as they’ll want to keep a close eye on him.
