Ruben Amorim could make as many as five changes to his Manchester United starting line up when they host Lyon in the crucial second leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie on Thursday night. The scores are level on aggregate following last week’s 2-2 draw in France as United look to keep their Champions League qualification dream alive.
It has already been confirmed Andre Onana will start the match after he had been dropped at the weekend, though Joshua Zirkzee has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to injury. It means Rasmus Hojlund is likely to lead the line, with teenage striker Chido Obi ineligible to feature in European competition this season.
United will hope to have enough on the night and reach the semi-finals, where they would face either Athletic Club or Rangers in the final four. Here is how we think they should line up to have the best chance of doing so:
