Erik ten Hag ball was in full flow as Manchester United played out a thrilling 2-2 draw against Barcelona.

Man United excited their fans with a sensational performance at the Camp Nou, with a stunning moment in the second-half summing up their impressive showing.

The visitors created opportunities in abundance and nearly scored an incredible team goal after a free-flowing move, featuring six different players.

It all started after Casemiro intercepted a pass, then picked out Jadon Sancho who popped a first-time pass to Wout Weghorst, who returned the ball to the Brazilian midfielder.

From there, he picked out Fred who cushioned a pass to the Dutch forward, who slid a ball to Marcus Rashford.

The England international ran at Barca's defence before setting up Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who fired a shot wide.

Despite not producing a goal, the move encouraged Man United fans online as they hailed Ten Hag ball.

One Twitter user wrote: "We see bits of this every game. Ten Hag has done wonders. One more transfer window with new owners and right players and we will be flyinggg."

A second tweeted: "Ten Hag pulling up to Camp Nou playing like that is unreal."

A third added: "Toying with Barca at the camp Nou."

A fourth said: "This was such a satisfying move and for those who have watched the preseason training drills, it's straight out of that training pitch."

Another commented: "Can’t believe we can play this kind of football against Barca. next season lets try play like this against Real Madrid on UCL."

Speaking after the result, Ten Hag said his side 'dictated' the game and praised Rashford's outing.

"I think we dictated the game, apart from maybe 15 minutes in the first half, we had some difficulties, but in the rest we were dictating the game and we had so many chances," he told BT Sport.

"I think it was a great game. Two attacking teams. I think it was a Champions League game, even more than that, so I really enjoyed the game. In the end [it finished] 2-2, and we have to finish it in Old Trafford.

"Of course, I will credit Rashford definitely because he is in great form, but the whole team did well. I think it was a really good team performance."
