Manchester United vs Lyon LIVE: Europa League team news and updates

The Red Devils face Lyon at Old Trafford on Thursday evening in the second leg of their quarter-final, with the tie delicately poised at 2-2. However, Sunday’s 4-1 Premier League humbling at St James’ Park, where a second-half collapse proved costly.

“It’s Bilbao or bust for United. Or, in the short term, Bilbao or Glasgow or bust.

“Their season could end tonight or extend into a semi-final. As he had said he would, Ruben Amorim has recalled Andre Onana.

“With Joshua Zirkzee injured, he had little choice but to recall Rasmus Hojlund.

“Lyon benefited from goalkeeping errors from Onana in last week’s 2-2 draw but are in far better form than United and could qualify for the Champions League via their domestic league results.

“But having a second leg at Old Trafford proved an advantage for United in the last round against Real Sociedad. It might do again.”

Following Manchester United’s humiliation in a 4-1 defeat to Newcastle on Sunday, Bruno Fernandes vowed to fight back in tonight’s Europa League clash.

The captain said: “We will fight back on Thursday. We will fight back and we will put everything back on the pitch that we have to do.

“From tomorrow on, we are going to put our heads on to the game, fresh legs, fresh minds and together with the fans, we are going to do something special again.”

Lyon XI: Perri; Maitland-Niles, Mata, Niakhate, Tagliafico; Veretout, Tolisso, Akoukou; Almada; Cherki, Mikautadze

Man Utd XI: Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Yoro; Dalot, Casemiro, Ugarte, Dorgu; Garnacho, Hojlund, Fernandes

“Matta [de Ligt] is going to return still this season,” added Amorim. “Ayden [Heaven] is out for this game, he had a small issue in the same spot during training, a contact with a team-mate.

“Jonny Evans is returning to the training but is not available for this game and some other players that we have to manage the minutes. Amad [Diallo] is not ready for this month but we hope to have Amad still for this season.”

“Joshua is out for the season,” said Ruben Amorim. “So he’s not going to play more this season. Let’s prepare him for the next one.

“It’s tough, especially in this moment. I think he’s improving in all aspects of the game, so it’s hard for any player to stop, but this is football and he has to be ready now to recover.”

Speaking after the 2-2 draw in Lyon during the first leg Joshua Zirkzee was confident Man Utd could win this tie.

The forward will not feature tonight due to injury but spoke after last week’s game.

“To draw in this way is always a little bit… I don’t want to say frustrating, but it hurts for it to go this way,” Zirkzee said.

“We all know what we have to do when we face them again at home.

“I’m sure with the full support of the stadium, it’s going to be difficult for them and easier for us, but they’re a great team – let’s not forget that – and it’s not going to be easy, but we all want to win, we have to win, so we’ll see.”

Paulo Fonseca said: “We’re playing here at Old Trafford against a great team that has the same ambitions as us.

“That’s why I’m only focused on the next game. It will be a decisive match for United’s season.

“We want to play well in this game and have the chance to win, but we know it will be difficult. Then we’ll see.

“We have several possibilities in the league, but today it’s important to focus on our ambition. Our ambition is to play a great game and have the chance to qualify.”
