Following an agonizing 4-1 defeat against Newcastle United in the Premier League, Manchester United will welcome Olympique Lyonnais at Old Trafford in the Europa League quarter-final second leg tonight.
The Red Devils only managed to come away with a 2-2 draw from the first leg so the tie is nicely poised at the moment.
News – Man Utd seriously want to sign £47million star – Report
As per team news, Joshua Zirkzee has been ruled out for the rest of the season having picked up a hamstring issue vs the Magpies last weekend. So, he joins Lisandro Martínez on the long-term injury list.
Amad Diallo is close to returning from his ankle problem but isn’t ready to play today. Jonny Evans has started training after recovering from his issue but this game will come too early for him to feature.
Moreover, Matthijs de Ligt and Toby Collyer aren’t in contention to be involved in this important encounter owing to their respective injuries.
Expected Man Utd lineup vs Lyon
After making two poor errors last week against Lyon, Andre Onana was dropped for the Newcastle game and Altay Bayindir was given the start. But, he wasn’t solid enough, hence, the Cameroonian is set to regain his spot in goal.
Harry Maguire is likely to replace Victor Lindelof in the CCB position, while Noussair Mazraoui and Leny Yoro should be the other two centre-backs. Diogo Dalot would be in the RWB role and Patrick Dorgu may be on the opposite side. In that case, Harry Amass will return to the bench.
Manuel Ugarte could be paired up with Casemiro in midfield, therefore, Christian Eriksen would have to make do with a place on the bench tonight having started last time out.
Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho should be the two No.10s, while Rasmus Hojlund could be leading the line for the Red Devils. Hence, Ruben Amorim is expected to make five changes to his starting Xl. Here’s Man Utd’s predicted line-up vs Lyon:
