The weakest season in United History can be saved by winning the Europa League

The “red devils” were a huge disappointment in this season. Both in the Premier League, where he occupies a shameful place 14 at the moment (the weakest ranking in the club's history), as well as in the two domestic competitions of English football (FA Cup, respectively the League Cup), which he left prematurely.

Moreover, the band on Old Trafford also lost the first trophy put into play this season, after being defeated at the large Manchester City rival in the Super Cup of England (1-1 after the first 90 minutes, 6-7 for penalties).

Therefore, the only objective still achievable for Ruben Amorim's band in the season 2024/2025 is to win the Europa League trophy, which would come to the package and to ensure the presence in the Champions League, starting in the fall.

Lyon fights on two fronts this end of campaign

On the other hand, Paulo Fonseca's team currently ranks 4th in Ligue 1, a position that leads to preliminary qualification in the Champions League.

However, the fight for access to the most important international competition interclubs is far from being decided, taking into account the fact that the difference between Monaco, the team from the second position, and Nice, the formation on the 7th place, currently measures only five points, given that there are as many stages to dispute.

However, in addition to qualifying in the UCL due to the position in the championship, Lyon also have the Europa League winning option, but this mission is not an easy one.

The two teams drew in hexagon

The tour of the “double” between Lyon and Manchester United ended in a draw, score 2-2, after a two-halved duel in the mirror.

In the first act, the French opened the scoring through Tiago Almada (25 '), who scored following an error committed by Andre Ona. Just before the break (45 '+5'), Leny Yoro restored the equality, after deviating a shot sent by Manuel Ugarte into Perri's gate.

He entered the field during the second half, Joshua Zirkzee brought on the “devils” in the 88th minute, after resuming with his head in the French net that came from Bruno Fernandes.

Rayan Cherki set the final score of the meeting on Groupama Stadium in the fifth additional minute, after taking advantage of a new error by United.
