When Manchester United hosts Lyon in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League quarterfinal on Thursday, their season is on the line and they have a very narrow margin for error. The launch time for the Manchester United vs Lyon game is 20:00 UK Time.
After the first leg, both sides are tied at two goals each. We expect both teams to score in Thursday’s meeting between the Red Devils and Les Gones at Old Trafford. The semi-final matchup between Rangers and Athletic Bilbao will determine who advances from this two-legged tie.
United are putting all of their energy into this tournament because they know they will not be able to qualify for Europe next season via the league. Ruben Amorim can save the season if the hosts can replicate their 2017 victory. If Andre Onana’s mistake in the first leg, when they were up2-1, had lost them the victory, the story may have turned out differently.
Because of the renewed vigour they felt after scoring that goal, Lyon will almost certainly give it their best in this match. An opportunity to reach the club’s fifth-ever UEFA semi-final is up for grabs. Is it going to be enough to motivate the French side to shock United? Keep reading to find out what we think.
