UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Season

Of course, it looks like the attacker are finding the right momentum currently. They both scored in their last EPL match which is a sign of improvement in them. I am always worried about United attacking force due to the incapacity of scoring goals, but it seems things are changing gradually. If the attackers can do their work effectively and keep the goals coming, stopping Lyon from scoring wouldn't be a problem.

Lyon are also not very good in Ligue 1 so it will not be that difficult to beat, what Manchester United need to do is find a weak point and they need to score early goals to put pressure on Lyon. But the problem is as you said because Manchester United's front line is not showing its best quality at all so it is much more difficult for them to score early goals.

Not to mention talking about the defense which may not be fully able to play the core players and still looks so struggling to perform consistently so the space for Lyon to score early goals is also quite open.

Yep. United has bounced back nicely of late and they will risk everything to play in the quarter-finals Europa League.
Some people call Lyon a mediocre team, but a reminder that Rayan Cherki will be Lyon's main man in the Europa League quarter-final against Manchester United. He has all the talent and technical ability to succeed. Best young talent from France in my opinion
Also, playing at home in the first leg will be an advantage for Lyon.

Yea, but you should not hype them for now because they can be very crazy sometimes I mean whenever they have few wins and people are happy and proud of them, they will start playing rubbish and losing some matches so for now just keep it on the low till after the match with Lyon that is when we will know if they are playing nice but it will be a thing of joy for them even after all the injury they have and still emerge victorious in the Europa league as the winner. Even if Lyon is playing from home what must be must be after all Manchester united draw Real sociedad in their home.

Manchester United should not be underestimated, because Manchester United is a big team with experienced players.

I don’t think anyone is underestimating Manchester United, but people are just judging them based on their current performance. You said Manchester United are having experienced players, but those players are performing poorly, they are playing like they don’t really want to play for the team. Everyone talking about Manchester United are speaking base on Manchester United current performance, and the best thing is that we shouldn’t expect much from Manchester United, so that they won’t end up disappointing us.

So even though Manchester United's performance is not as good as before, Amorim's team is still worth watching out for. In addition, Lyon is also a strong team, so I'm not surprised why many people prefer Lyon over Manchester United in this match.

Manchester United will just have to be careful Lyon is a club which can surprise us, their performance has not been bad also, and they will want to do everything possible to get a win against Manchester United, and they might end up getting it if Manchester United are not really careful in the match.

Maintaining consistency is very difficult and that is still a problem that Amorim has not been able to overcome so when facing Lyon they must be able to provide something much better than before. Rayan Cherki's quality has indeed increased over time and he needs the support of his teammates because without that support he cannot do anything.

This will be a difficult match for both because currently both teams' performances have not been very consistent throughout the season. The role of the coach is quite decisive in one of the steps in achieving victory in the match because they have to see the weaknesses of one of them to exploit.

Yes, if you are currently hoping for Manchester United, it is not the right thing to do. Because it cannot be denied that their current performance is not yet stable. I personally also say that Lyon must be careful of Manchester United, but that does not mean I hope for Manchester United in this match. However, I only emphasize that Manchester United is not a small team and the players they have also have very good skills. It is proven that many Manchester United players defend national teams such as Portugal and Argentina. So with that I conclude that Lyon should not underestimate Manchester United. But for this match, I personally would not dare to bet on Manchester United. Because Manchester United's potential to win this match is indeed not great. So with that, I think for this match, I will just do BTTS. Because it is certain that in this match there will be goals scored.

I also have no doubts about the ability of Rayan Cherki who is in the Lyon team at the moment, but one good player alone will not be enough to bring a team to victory if the opponent they face is a good opponent in terms of performance. Rayan still needs support and help from his teammates so that his ability can be maximized because if he is the only one who can play well, but the other players are not good enough, then it will be difficult for Lyon to win even though the first leg is at Lyon's home.

Manchester United and Tottenham are the only English teams still contesting in the Europa league this season. For me Tottenham is a doubt to progress to the semi finals while Manchester United show some positives when they will face Lyon. I have a bit of confidence in United to progress to semi finals even if they won’t win but Tottenham is a huge doubt.

Do they stand a chance if they finally have all of their defenders and players fit until the very end? I remember they one time played in the champions league finals against Liverpool, but failed to win. I doubt they'll defeat Frankfurt who are also one time winners of this competition in.the last 5 years. Not because I have a thing for Manchester United,  but they have a better chance of winning and this is the only route to the Champions League Competition next season... I know these players don't wan miss out.

Lyon does need to be careful in their upcoming match because it is true that Man United is a big team and of course their strength cannot be underestimated because they have good players, even though Man United's performance is not stable at this time, their strength already looks good and it seems that I see Man United will continue to rise and can become a team that will be respected someday and at this time of course it can be said that it is a recovery process because they are of course with a new coach. Lyon is indeed a strong opponent but I personally prefer Man United in this match because I see Man United's performance is currently good and of course I am sure that fierce competition will occur but I am sure Amorim will be able to overcome all that and I am sure Man United will be able to win against Lyon because I still remember Man United being able to hold the UCL team to a draw, namely Arsenal and I think that when the match later against Lyon will definitely be won by Man United. but of course if you choose BTTS of course that is very good because surely in that match there will be goals and we'll see what happens later.

While the leagues are of course vastly different, Lyon is doing a bit better if I am not wrong. They have 45 points in 26 games, which is about 1.73 points per game, and fifth place at Ligue 1 as well. Whereas United has 37 points in 29 games, which is about 1.27 points per game, and they are 13th in the league. I am not comparing ligue 1 with premier league, of course premier league is harder to do better but that doesn't mean these two teams are close to each other normally.

Just because United is United, people see a chance for them to win, after all they got here so far, so they have a chance to move further too. But I would say if we were to compare seasons, Lyon has been better this season overall than United.

It is obvious that Amorim have high hopes for the Europa League, it is the only tournament in which they can still achieve something, and in case of victory they will even have the opportunity to get a place in the Champions League, but I think it is unlikely. Ten Hag used to talk about winning trophies, and it was true, despite the worst seasons Manchester United always ended up with a trophy, but it seems that with Amorim everything may be without trophies.

Do not stress Manchester united will win Lyon how and away, i do not see Lyon as a threat to ,Manchester united, in spite their current poor state. Lyon does not stand a chance to win Manchester united. Its a workover for Amorim, I just wish before the game Manchester united players return from injury, because is injury that has really affected Amorim's this season. Lyon are really inform but they have no chance to beat wounder Manchester united that all their hope and dream to get it right are on this trophy.

Manchester United can win if they find a weak point, or rather the weak point that all teams have.
I donot know if scoring in the first few minutes can help.
But both the attack and the defense are not exactly strong than Manchester, the opponent they have is doing much better

[SatoPrincess]

By the way, the Europa League finale is going to take place at San Mamés Stadium which is Athletic Bilbao's. This would also be some extra motivation for them honestly. 

Currently their opponent is Rangers. Nothing surprising I'm expecting. This is easier than beating Roma. After, Lyon or Manchester United... I think no matter which one comes, Athletic Bilbao can still be victorious. Even for the finale, my favourite is them.

If Atletico Bilbao successfully cruise pass Rangers and Manchester United are able to defeat Lyon I think it will be interesting to see Manchester United go against Bilbao in the semifinals of tge europa league. Nothing will give me more excitement than seeing Manchester United get eliminated from the Europa league.

Amorim will have a difficult time maintaining consistency with their available player. The manager showed his knowledge and experience, if another manager had been in charge, I am confident they would not qualified for the Europa League quarterfinals this season. Having injured players does not prevent a team from winning games, it all depends on the manager's strength, and Amorim has proved that he is the right manager to take this squad to the next level.

However, if we look at the positions of both clubs in their respective leagues, I believe many people would choose Lyon to beat Manchester United because Lyon is fifth in the standings and Manchester United is 13th. Manchester United may defeat Lyon to advance to the next round if they perform at the level of their previous two games; Lyon might not even be as tough as we believe they are going to be against Manchester United.

Lyon is not a very tough opponent for Manchester United although Manchester United must also be more focused in winning the match because Lyon in its own domestic league is not able to be in the top four of the standings so the possibility of making Manchester United lose is very difficult for Lyon. But even so, Manchester United must still play as well as possible by deploying all its abilities in the first leg of the quarter-finals when meeting Lyon because victory in the first leg can also be capital in undergoing the second leg.

You don't need to underestimate Lyon because they might pull some stunts on that day. Don't forget that they are in form. On the other hand, United shouldn't find it difficult to win Lyon and qualify to the semifinals because they are performing pretty good in this league. United is unbeaten and I don't think that they will mess up the only chance to put things right in order to be in UCL next season.

The end is not yet known so we can't say for sure that Manchester United won't win any silverware this season, because they are still in the Europa league and anyone who is still at a competition is considered as a potential winner. So we have to wait till the end to know what will happen. Manchester United might not be doing well in the league. But as far as the Europa league is concerned Manchester United are doing very well. If at the end of every season that Manchester United has been managing to win something, I still think they can replicate that this season. At least now they are fully aware that the Europa league is their only option.

[Fuso.hp]

Manchester United and Tottenham are the only English teams still contesting in the Europa league this season. For me Tottenham is a doubt to progress to the semi finals while Manchester United show some positives when they will face Lyon. I have a bit of confidence in United to progress to semi finals even if they won’t win but Tottenham is a huge doubt.

Manchester United now have the right plan in place and are slowly but surely moving forward to implement that plan. The question now is whether Manchester United can qualify for the semi-finals. Before saying whether or not Manchester United will qualify for the semi-finals, we must first see which team Manchester United have as opponents. How is the overall performance of Manchester United against the opponent team or how has Manchester United performed against this team in the past matches or what is the current performance of this team then we have to make a prediction about this match. 

Lyon will be against Manchester United as opponent and Manchester United has played a match against this team in the past in which Manchester United won. Lyon haven't been doing very well in the French league recently so I think Manchester United can definitely make it to the semi-finals.

I really don't understand the plan you're talking about concerning Manchester United that you said they have, talking about Manchester United next opponent in the Europa league, I think of late Lyon has had more interesting results than Man Utd and in terms of league they are well positioned than the Premier League side. It's going to be a tough for both teams as it stands because no one can outrightly say who will win the tie overall. I will still keep my fingers crossed because I can't predict the outcome of this very game.

[iamsange]

You don't need to underestimate Lyon because they might pull some stunts on that day. Don't forget that they are in form. On the other hand, United shouldn't find it difficult to win Lyon and qualify to the semifinals because they are performing pretty good in this league. United is unbeaten and I don't think that they will mess up the only chance to put things right in order to be in UCL next season.

Every match must always be taken seriously by any team so that no one should be underestimated because Lyon themselves are also quite aware that they will face a team that has never lost in the Europa League this season so Lyon will also use all their abilities to give Manchester United a very tough fight. But on the other hand I am also more confident in Manchester United because the team is certainly very ready for all the pressure from any opponent in the Europa League this season including the match with Lyon in the quarter-finals later.

[bitLeap]

Ten Hag used to talk about winning trophies, and it was true, despite the worst seasons Manchester United always ended up with a trophy, but it seems that with Amorim everything may be without trophies.

If it is true that Man United closes this season without a trophy, it will certainly be a setback for Amorim compared to the Ten Hag era, the Europa League is the only thing to fight for, but we also won't blame Amorim too much because he is in a situation with no other choice but with the existing players. That is why he was unable to maximize the opportunity, this is a risk because managing Man United is like holding a burning ember, if released it will go out and if held it will burn your own hand.
