Seeing how Manchester United has been improving lately from back to back good performances in the Europa league knockout phase and the recent victory over Leicester and draw with Arsenal it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Manchester United winning against Lyon. However, like I have said before that Manchester United know how to defeat foreign teams not above their level. I expect a win for United in that fixture.
Still the improvement in the Premier League will not necessarily be guarantee, but I believe it can increase the confidence of the players and they have also played better in the Europa League since the beginning compared to the Premier League.
Lyon is team from Ligue 1 that does not have good stability, but here in the Europa League they can also appear more impressive and if you estimate the results of the upcoming match between Lyon vs Manchester United for the first leg Lyon playing as the host then draw can be very possible to happen.
