Manchester United will face Lyon in the quarter-finals of this season’s Europa League.
The Reds beat Real Sociedad 4-1 (5-2 on aggregate) in Thursday’s round-of-16 second leg and had captain Bruno Fernandes to thank for a hat-trick at Old Trafford.
Diogo Dalot also scored in a thrilling tie, after Ruben Amorim’s side had fallen behind to Mikel Oyarzabal’s 10th-minute spot-kick.
We’ll play Lyon – who thrashed FCSB in their last-16 tie – in France first, on Thursday 10 April, with the return in M16 seven days later. Kick-off times will be confirmed in due course.
Lyon won 4-0 on the night against the Romanians to seal a resounding 7-1 triumph over the two legs.
Former Reds midfielder Nemanja Matic plays for the French club, who are currently sixth in the Ligue 1 table.
In the earlier games, Athletic Club, Bodo/Glimt, Eintracht Frankfurt and Lazio booked their spots in the last eight, while Tottenham Hotspur have also progressed.
Rangers and Fenerbahce went to a penalty shootout, after the Turks turned a two-goal deficit around in Glasgow. Ex-United men were heavily involved as Jack Butland made a brilliant save to deny Fred and Tom Lawrence converted the next effort. Mert Hakan Yandas skied the final shot as the Gers progressed to the last eight.
