After a disastrous season, the Red Devils are almost certain to record their lowest-ever Premier League finish and points total.

However, if they can advance to the final and win the Europa League for the first time since 2017, they will have one final opportunity to salvage their season with Champions League qualification.

The discourse going into the second-leg has continued on from the narrative around error-laden goalkeeper André Onana.

The first leg, which ended 2-2, was heavy in needle based on the pre-match comments with Nemanja Matic calling Onana one of the “worst goalkeepers in United’s history” after the Cameroonian called his club a “much better team with Lyon.”

Onana will return to United’s starting lineup for tonight’s crucial game after being rested for the weekend’s shellacking to Newcastle United.

If United are to progress Onana and co. will have turn out a robust performance in front of the Old Trafford faithful.

Who could Man Utd play in Europa League semi-final?

United has long been aware of their possible path to the Europa League final because the quarterfinal and semifinal drawings are held simultaneously with the round-of-16 draw in February.

After defeating FCSB 7-1 on aggregate, the Red Devils advanced to the quarterfinals by eliminating Real Sociedad and were placed with Lyon.

This implies Man United will play the winner of the match between Athletic Bilbao and Rangers if they go past Lyon.

Rangers advanced on penalties against Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce following a 3-3 aggregate draw, while Athletic Club eliminated Serie A side AS Roma in the previous round.

The final of the 2025 Europa League will be held on Wednesday, May 21. San Mamés Stadium, the home field of Athletic Bilbao in Bilbao, Spain plays host.
