Roberto Martinez, the Wigan Athletic manager has put his neck on the line and admitted that Manchester United are indeed in some ways better than the Spanish as well as the European Champions Barcelona. The Spanish tactician spoke
to the media recently as he said that United are better than Barcelona in certain ways. Over the past 2-3 season, Barcelona have established themselves as the most impressive outfit in European football, pundits are quick to compare the Catalan giants to some
amazing club sides of yesteryear whilst some are adamant that Pep Guardiola’s side are the best club football team ever.

drawn their first group fixtures thus far. Barcelona drew against A.C Milan whilst United drew away to Benfica. It will be interesting to see how both the teams match up against one another once more when the UEFA Champions League enters into its knockout
stage.
Martinez said in his latest interview to a radio service, "In many ways they [Manchester United] are better than Barcelona. That's just down to the mentality, the belief and they way they approach games. What Barca have is the
way they play the game, they are very unique, you won't see another team in world football that will rely on 900 passes to win the game. The pattern of their play is impossible to compare.”
He added, "But United have a blend and mentality in the squad that is the best in world football. It's just a matter of beating a team like Barca in a one-off game and see who can be European champions, as I believe they are on
a different level than anyone else." Barcelona drew their last La Liga encounter against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 at Old Trafford by beating
Andres Vilas-Boas’ men by three goals to one courtesy of goals by Rooney, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299 and Smalling. United next visit the Britannia stadium to face off against Stoke City before hosting F.C Basel at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.
