  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    United looked to be in firm control of the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final against Lyon after Ruben Amorim's side took a two-goal lead at Old Trafford before half-time. However, in unprecedented fashion, United conceded two goals in six minutes to take the game to extra time. The Ligue 1 side then scored in the 104th minute and doubled their lead with a penalty from Alexander Lacazette. However, Amorim's side were able to mount a spectacular comeback as the Reds scored three goals in six minutes with Harry Maguire scoring a spectacular injury-time winner, and fans are now in disbelief after their side's immense comeback at the death of the clash against Lyon for a 5-4 win.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Red Devils fans will be keenly hoping that the show of strength for Amorim's side could potentially spark them into life as they look to claim their second Europa League title.

  • WHAT NEXT FOR MAN UTD?

    After their insane comeback against Lyon, United now know that they will be taking on La Liga side Athletic Club, who managed to beat the Rangers 2-0 at San Mames earlier today. However, before that, they will have the task of facing Wolves and Bournemouth in the Premier League.
