Where to watch Man United vs Lyon as Europa League drama returns

There is no disguising the scale of what’s at stake for Manchester United tonight. Sitting a dismal 14th in the Premier League, their domestic season has unravelled spectacularly. Exit from both domestic cups before the quarter-finals leaves only one route back to credibility — and to the Champions League — via the Europa League.
The second leg against Lyon arrives with the tie finely balanced following last week’s 2-2 draw in France. But the narrative from that match has been dominated less by the scoreline and more by the simmering war of words between two familiar faces: Andre Onana and Nemanja Matic.
Pre-match tensions exploded when Onana declared United were “way better” than Lyon. Matic, never one to back down, responded by branding Onana the “worst keeper in the club’s history.” The Cameroonian goalkeeper pointed to his trophy haul in reply — but the match that followed only poured fuel on the fire.
Two costly errors from Onana ultimately denied Man United the advantage in France. For all the bravado, it was Lyon who emerged with the psychological edge — and now have the confidence to believe in an upset under the Old Trafford lights.
Ruben Amorim, still finding his feet after taking over mid-season, has made clear that Europe is now the priority. The Portuguese coach must inspire a response from a side who looked disjointed in their 4-1 defeat to Newcastle. With just six league games remaining, United are on course for their worst-ever Premier League campaign in terms of points. This evening may not just shape their season, but their summer as well.
