Ruben Amorim has selected his Manchester United side for the Europa League quarter-final second leg against Lyon.
The scores are tied at 2-2 after an entertaining first game in France last week, with it all on the line at Old Trafford this evening.
After making five changes for the defeat at Newcastle United, the boss has opted to revert to the same XI that started at the Groupama Stadium.
Andre Onana is back in goal, as the boss suggested during his press conference at Carrington, with Harry Maguire replacing Victor Lindelof at the heart of the defence.
Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu will patrol the left flank, while Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte form the double pivot in midfield.
Rasmus Hojlund, out to improve his good record in the competition, leads the line with Joshua Zirkzee’s absence due to injury leaving the Reds without a forward option on the bench.
Youngsters Jaydan Kamason, Godwill Kukonki and Jack Moorhouse are among the substitutes, along with Harry Amass, who made his maiden Premier League start at Newcastle.
THE TEAMS
United: Onana; Mazraoui, Maguire, Yoro; Dalot, Casemiro, Ugarte, Dorgu; Garnacho, Fernandes (c); Hojlund.
Substitutes: Bayindir, Heaton, Amass, Kamason, Kukonki, Lindelof, Shaw, Eriksen, Mainoo, Moorhouse, Mount.
Lyon: Perri; Maitland-Niles, Mata, Niakhate, Tagliafico; Tolisso (c), Akouokou; Veretout, Cherki, Almada; Mikautadze.
Substitutes: Descamps, Diarra, Abner Vinicius, Caleta-Car, Kumbedi, Omari, Matic, Tessman, Fofana, Lacazette.
