Yes, bet on a Man U win. Fergie will find the best way to stop Lionel Messi. Barca keep possession like no other team in the history of the game. The key idea for Man U is to pile the pressure on their defenders and not allow them to bring the ball out of the back to their playmakers. Man U will play with great intensity. Sheer energy is Manchester United's greatest strength when they are playing well. Several of their players could run all day and keeping their passing at a consistently high tempo allows them to overwhelm opponents at times. It is no co-incidence they complete so many second-half comebacks, with many teams who score against them eventually deciding to sit back, inviting wave after wave of attacks. Fergie may leave out slow & old players like Giggs, Rio & Carrick. Smalling takes over from Rio in defense which also has fast players like Rafael, Evra, Vidic. They may need Fabio to mark Messi all over the field. Park to run all over midfield to win balls. And there is Valencia and Nani to provide width & feed the final ball to Rooney & Chico. And of course, Edwin in goal is a superb custodian.

Can Man U beat Barcelona without Giggs?

Hahahahahahahaha.. Man Yoo is not about Giggsy and he should retire and coach/play at 2nd tier club. Likewise FC Barcelona is not about Messi. Their second stringers alone can beat any league one club

Playing Park would be a mistake. Man U lost the previous final with Anderson and Park in midfield. I think it would be Man U's year again. If a farkup team like Inter can knock Barca out last year, I don't see why Man U can't win this final. 1968 Wembley all over again.
Mourinho was the one behind Inter's success. If i am a club owner i would prefer him as coach anytime. Arsenal FC new owners should replace Wenger with Jose!

Barca and Spain are practically useless when teams park the bus. They have no targetman to cross to in the crowded box. Just look at how Hercules, Rubin Kazan, Switzerland and USA defeated them. Man Utd will do the same this Sat. Expect to see a 4-1-4-1: VDS, Rafael, Rio, Vidic, Evra, Carrick, Valencia, Fletcher, Park, Rooney, Hernandez.
