Under-the-radar Barcelona's creative force

If there’s one reason that United have lost out to Barcelona in the past, it is their failure to put a man on Sergio Busquets. He’s been one of the players that dictates games for Barcelona and creates a lot of chances for his team.

He’s a deep-lying creative midfielder but with extra defensive responsibilities. And with Barcelona controlling most of their games, he usually has a field day against teams that don’t man-mark him. If United are to win this tie then they need to have someone on him full time.

That player should be none other than Jesse Lingard since he'll float infield as the game goes on. Busquets usually sits deep to control the game and Lingard will have to take the game to him and unsettle him any time he has the ball at his feet.

Lingard, will certainly not have it easy here, but he's a player that can do a job for the manager and work hard for the team.
