Manchester United vs Lyon: Match Preview
The Europa League is the last chance for salvation this season for Manchester United, who have suffered a dismal campaign in the Premier League, which was further compounded by a 4-1 defeat away at Newcastle United on Sunday.
Despite drawing 2-2 in the first leg, Andre Onana's inclusion will be widely debated, especially given Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayindir started his first-ever Premier League game at St. James' Park.
As for Lyon, Paulo Fonseca's side won 3-1 in their latest Ligue 1 outing against Auxerre at the weekend and will be once again brimming with confidence heading to Manchester later this week.
Rayan Cherki is the man to watch, with the talented Frenchman already contributing 11 goals and 18 assists in all competitions this season. Can United keep the 21-year-old quiet on Thursday night?
