Barcelona team news: How Ernesto Valverde’s men could line up against Manchester United

Barcelona will be at full strength as they welcome Manchester United to the Nou Camp for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie on Tuesday.

Although they warmed up for the game with a goalless draw away to Huesca, Ernesto Valverde rang in the changes for that game.

Ousmane Dembele started, while the likes of Gerard Pique, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho were all given breathers with this game in mind.

Here’s how Barcelona could line up against Manchester United:

Defence

Marc-Andre ter Stegen is the undisputed No 1, so he will keep his place between the sticks.

Barça were good at restricting United in the first leg as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men failed to register a single shot on target and Valverde is likely to plump for his usual four at the back.

That will see Pique at centre-back with Clement Lenglet alongside Nelson Semedo and Jordi Alba on the right and left hand side respectively.

Midfield

Valverde’s midfield has plenty of strength in depth but almost picks itself on current form.

Sergio Busquets will act as the anchorman and clear up any problems in front of the defence with Ivan Rakitic and Arthur given more freedom to roam forward and pick up pockets of space.
