After being humiliated with a 0-2 loss to arch rivals Liverpool on Sunday, Premier League Champions and runner-up of last year's Champions League, Manchester United travel to Oakwell for a fourth round fixture with Barnsley Football club.
Sir Alex Ferguson, who, of late, is under fire from the referees for his controversial remarks against them both in the premier league clash against Liverpool a couple of days ago as well as against Sunderland in the previous week, might fancy his second team to get some exposure to big-league football, while, at the same time ensuring that the team move to the next round without much fuss or problems.
The stunning defeat to Burnley, one of the newly promoted teams to the Premier League this season, should be a reminder for SAF and others in the team not to take the opponent so easily and make sure that the game is won convincingly.
Barnsley are not any pushovers and, with the home support behind them, they are expected to give some headache to the devils.
According to news from the club, Gabriel Obertan, one of the new signings for the team this season, might make his debut in English football for the first time this season. A box-to-box player with better credentials, the adaptability of this player to English conditions and the style of playing will be a good boost for the current champions who were pushed to the second spot after 10 games.
It is Manchester United all the way and my prediction would be a convincing victory for the Devils enough to breeze through to the quarter finals.
