So, they will be coming out extra hard against Lyon due to their disappointing performances in the Premier League (13th place at the moment). Meanwhile, Lyon will look to use the home advantage to their favour and United’s recent poor run of form to have the advantage going into Old Trafford for the second leg. It promises to be an exciting game of football.
