Manchester United’s Anticipated Starting Lineup for Lyon Encounter

Manchester United manager has confirmed that goalkeeper André Onana will return to the starting lineup for the crucial UEFA Europa League quarter-final second leg against Olympique Lyonnais at Old Trafford.

Despite recent struggles and being benched for the weekend’s Premier League match, Onana is set to reclaim his position between the posts. The Cameroonian keeper aims to redeem himself after a shaky performance in the first leg, which ended in a 2-2 draw.

In attack, Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund is expected to lead the line for the Red Devils. However, the team will be without several key players due to injuries, including Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt, Jonny Evans, Lisandro Martinez, and Amad Diallo.

Projected Manchester United Starting XI vs Lyon:

André Onana; Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, Noussair Mazraoui; Patrick Dorgu, Manuel Ugarte, Casemiro, Diogo Dalot; Bruno Fernandes, Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho.

This lineup combines experience and youth as Manchester United aims to secure a spot in the Europa League semi-finals. The match promises to be an exciting encounter with both teams eager to progress in the competition.
