The two sides meet at Wembley Saturday, fighting against awards of the football European club, with Barca tipped to repeat their success in 2009.
"If Barcelona turn up, they earn," said former England captain Lineker.
"Barca got to have a bad day for the United States of realistically have a chance." Either that or United chance. ?
Lineker admitted that, with the game being off played in England, United States had a chance of prevailing, but insists on the fact that La Liga champions Barcelona were heavy favorites.
"The fact that it is in England and they will probably get the vast majority of the support and is 90 minutes, not two legs, gives them a better chance," said the presenter of the BBC.
"But if they played 10 times, United States could win one or two of them, it may be a couple of prints and Barca would win the rest."
The two sides in the Saturday final head has also recently crowned champions of their respective national leagues.
However, while it has been suggested that this side United did not correspond to some of the previous teams built by manager Sir Alex Ferguson, current crops of Bar?a players are be hailed as potentially one of the team of best assembled in the history of the football club.
Under current coach Josep Guardiola, they won three consecutive titles of La Liga, Copa del Rey in 2009 and the League of Champions of the same year, when they overcame 2-0 in the final United States.
They are also praised for their attractive passing football style.
And Lineker believes side of Guardiola has the capability to become the largest ever seen football club - add his voice to the discussion of Monday on 5 live Radio for the greatest club side to have played.
"Time will tell, but potentially, they could be the best club side ever," claimed Lineker. "They are on their way to eventually."
Man Utd v Barcelona - Champions League final by number"They will compete with the sides of the big club;" large teams of Liverpool, AC Milan and Real Madrid in previous way.
"But to do this, I believe that they have obtained to be winning prolific of the Champions League.".
"If they can beat Manchester United and then win two or three more in the next few years, with their style of football, the modern game, they could become the best side ever."
"They are certainly the best side on that attended the attractiveness of their football, the way in which they left the game."
United, at the same time, perhaps not as easy on the eye as Barcelona this season, but side of Sir Alex Ferguson was still enough to win the Championship by nine points.
First League of Ferguson trophy tally this leads to a remarkable 12. He also won the Cup England five times, the League Cup four times, Cup Winners Cup once and the once World Cup.
Better now than it was in 2009 - Barca FergusonThe Scot of 69 years aims to make a hat-trick of triumphs in the Champions League on Saturday.
"I believe that Sir Alex Ferguson is already the greatest British Manager," said Lineker. "It is not only one of the greatest British managers but one of the biggest global football."
"His record speaks for itself." It is here to compare with anyone, and it is better than anyone.
"He has already won the League of Champions twice, he won 12 titles and many sections of FA and everything that goes with that.
"Even if they lose one it will not be for him, it will be because Barcelona are one side really incredible."
Lineker admitted that Ferguson has his work cut out if it wants to orchestrate a victory of Barcelona.
"It will be very difficult," he said. "The problem you have with Barcelona Gets the ball off them."
"I believe that Alex will play the way he has played in recent weeks with Hernandez from the outset, Rooney off him, flood midfielder, as much as he can and counterattack as quickly as possible."
"Barcelona are so good, you can have all the plans in the world but if Messi [Lionel], [Andres] Iniesta and Xavi are on the song, you're in trouble." United chances are if Messi was warm-up! ?
Lineker has played for Barcelona between 1986 and 1989, after having joined the club for Everton for ￡ 2. 75 m.
He recorded 44 goals in 99 games during his stay in Spain, who gave him an overview of the importance of Barcelona, the people of Catalonia football club.
Messi can be stopped - Ferdinand"The identity of Catalonia is extremely important for fans of Barcelona," said Lineker.
"They got a little say,"more than a club"which translates is" more than a club' in Catalan. "."
"What they say by this is that all of this goes back to the repression of Catalonia and various other locations in Spain has suffered during the reign of Franco, where they were not allowed, for example, speak their own language.".
"The place that they could potentially do and meet was in the Camp Nou. In many respects, which becomes their focal point against Madrid of Franco.
"This is where comes this great rivalry with Real Madrid-is more than a football match, it means much more politically and historically."
"Obviously time passes and memories fade, but it remains, there is a current it.". "This is why this great team, they have now gives them more pleasure that it otherwise would."
