Despite Manchester United’s poor start to the season they have showed a bit of improvement in their last three games which has significantly helped the team as a moral booster. I have a feeling that in the Europa league Manchester United will be more aggressive in their approach to the Europa League games, meaning that Manchester United will defeat Lyon and qualify to the next staged.
What kind of improvement Manchester United showed? If they improved, they would not be placing at 13th. They are so garbage as a team now. They have no strength to compete in the premier league, and as you said, Europa League is now their only hope. If they failed in winning it. They're finished.
Talking about Manchester United's chance to beat Lyon, their chance is high, but don't underestimate Lyon. The first leg is gonna be an away game for them, and always expect for the host to come with a surprise.
We know how inconsistent Manchester United is now. This is my reason to avoid in betting on them to win the game because their chance to win the game is almost equal to the Lyon. BTTS is best choice for this game.
