Team News

Man Utd
Lyon
  • Joshua Zirkzee's absence should see Rasmus Hojlund lead the charge against Lyon on Thursday night.
  • Amad, Matthijs de Ligt, Lisandro Martinez, Jonny Evans and Toby Collyer are also missing due to injury, while Chido Obi is ineligible.
  • Patrick Dorgu is expected to start at left wing-back, but Kobbie Mainoo may have to settle for a spot in the bench.
  • Andre Onana will return to the starting XI after he missed the 4-1 loss at Newcastle.
  • Lyon remain without injured winger Ernest Nuamah but Malick Fofana is set to be available for the French side.
  • Paulo Fonseca may revert to a 4-2-3-1 setup this week, with Rayan Cherki moving to the right flank.
  • Nemanja Matic, who was critical of Andre Onana last week, is unlikely to start.

Prediction

  • Manchester United were pegged back late on in Lyon last week and they followed up the 2-2 draw in France with a 4-1 thumping at Newcastle. Defeat at St. James' Park means they are winless in four ahead of the second leg welcome of the French outfit.
  • Lyon were 3-1 winners at Auxerre at the weekend to make it seven wins from their last nine in all competitions. Paulo Fonseca takes his men to Manchester having overseen four wins from the last five away matches.
  • While United have struggled this season, they remain unbeaten in the Europa League, winning four of five at Old Trafford in the competition, and should have what it takes to get the job done on home turf.

  • thats how you do a comeback. Talk less and do more unlike a certain team who got knocked out of the cl recently

  • Incredible game

  • Fairplay to United for that comeback honestly.

  • Maguire moved to striker position and finished

  • @koziol.mutant Amorim used to do exactly the same thing with Coates and it used to work as well.

  • play 11 vs 10 and make changes to play without a striker, lool. All those Pep copycats are cancer.

  • That is the most disgustingly obvious dive, cannot believe the ref actually bought it. Not his fault that var can’t intervene in those situations, but it begs the question, why not?

  • Man U could really have done with Zirkzee tonight but he's off with his hamstring. If the usual front three can't break through before the 60th then maybe Mount or Mainoo might have some luck. Last time they met, Onana was slippy handed and unprepared in set plays last time and both goals seemed avoidable. I'm saying 2:1 but not sure who too. The home fans might need to be a 12th man if Lyon start pullin their usual plucky tricks and Man U start fumbling about again. You don't have to ask Cherki twice.

  • @Goaltrader87 Ugarte in the 10th min! - Sweet - cashing out my over 1.5. That's me done. Can watch for fun now lol!

  • MAN UTD Onana, Mazraoui, Maguire, Yoro, Dalot, Ugarte, Casemiro, Dorgu, Garnacho, Hojlund, Fernandes.

  • @Marbella SUBS Bayindir, Heaton, Lindelof, Mount, Eriksen, Shaw, Mainoo, Amass, Moorhouse, Kamson, Kukonki.

  • LYON Perri, Maitland-Niles, Mata, Niakhate, Tagliafico, Tolisso, Akouokou, Veretout, Cherki, Mikautadze, Almada.

  • @Marbella SUBS Descamps, Diarra, Lacazette, Fofana, Tessmann, Abner Vinicius, Kumbedi, Omari, Matic, Caleta-Car.

  • First half goal and penalty

  • Another day, another draw.

  • There have been over 1.5 goals in 11 consecutive Man Utd European games.

  • Lyon can do it for sure they are flying rn and united is miserable cherki to score or assist

  • 1-1

  • Amorim says goalkeeper Onana will be recalled for this game.

  • united win

  • united to win inside 90 minutes , bruno to score or assist
