Ole will return to Barcelona this time as a manager
#3 United can assess themselves against the best

Leicester City v Manchester United - Premier League
There is no doubt that the Spanish Giants are one of the best teams of the season, if not the best of the lot in Europe. Every team in the quarterfinals would have been hoping to avoid the Catalans and each of them would have heaved a sigh of relief at the end of the tie. Barcelona are the gold standard right now, and as such, Manchester United have an opportunity to assess themselves against the very best.
Ever since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement, the Red Devils have hardly been at their historic best. It has taken three managerial changes and a whole lot of investment in the transfer market to finally regain their style of play. Manchester United have been on the rise of late, but there's still a lot of work to be done if they desire to arrive at the top. As such, United have a wonderful opportunity to take stock of their recent developments in the match against Barcelona.

About the author
Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written more than 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 20 million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
