Maintaining consistency is very difficult and that is still a problem that Amorim has not been able to overcome so when facing Lyon they must be able to provide something much better than before. Rayan Cherki's quality has indeed increased over time and he needs the support of his teammates because without that support he cannot do anything.
This will be a difficult match for both because currently both teams' performances have not been very consistent throughout the season. The role of the coach is quite decisive in one of the steps in achieving victory in the match because they have to see the weaknesses of one of them to exploit.
It is obvious that Amorim have high hopes for the Europa League, it is the only tournament in which they can still achieve something, and in case of victory they will even have the opportunity to get a place in the Champions League, but I think it is unlikely. Ten Hag used to talk about winning trophies, and it was true, despite the worst seasons Manchester United always ended up with a trophy, but it seems that with Amorim everything may be without trophies.
The end is not yet known so we can't say for sure that Manchester United won't win any silverware this season, because they are still in the Europa league and anyone who is still at a competition is considered as a potential winner. So we have to wait till the end to know what will happen. Manchester United might not be doing well in the league. But as far as the Europa league is concerned Manchester United are doing very well. If at the end of every season that Manchester United has been managing to win something, I still think they can replicate that this season. At least now they are fully aware that the Europa league is their only option.
