Lyon vs Man Utd
Ruben Amorim’s side cross the Channel hoping to take a step closer to salvaging something from a desperately disappointing season so far, with the Europa League the only thing left to play for over the last few months.
Last week’s draw to Manchester City showed some encouraging attacking signs while highlighting the desperate need for a player to apply the finishing touch upfront, though the Red Devils will be hoping to find that touch against the French side.
Lyon remain one of France’s most famed sides despite falling from grace since a period of winning seven straight Ligue 1 titles between 2002 and 2008, and have a range of attacking talent including Alexandre Lacazette, Rayan Cherki and Georges Mikautadze.

Good afternoon!
Welcome to The Independent’s coverage of tonight’s Europa League action which sees Manchester United take on Lyon in the first leg of their quarter-final tie.
United have been an incredibly consistent team in Europe this year, which is a stark contrast to their domestic form, and are one of the favourites to win this tournament.
But, their hosts this evening are in good form and will feel confident about defeating a lacklustre United side short on confidence themselves.
We’ll have all the team news, line-ups and updates throughout the evening so stick with us as we build up to kick off at 8pm.
