Ten Hag wins the touchline battle over Xavi as Manchester United oust Barcelona from Europa League

MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester United knocked Barcelona out of the Europa League with a frantic 2-1 win at Old Trafford. Erik ten Hag's team came from behind to book their place in the last-16 thanks to second half goals from Fred and substitute Anthony.

Robert Lewandowski's first-half penalty had given Barcelona the lead but after losing the tie 4-3 on aggregate, the Spanish giants are left to focus on their LaLiga and the Copa del Rey campaigns.

United, meanwhile, are still in four competitions and head to Wembley for the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United on Sunday on a high.
