I have the confidence that Manchester United will scale through this stage of the Europa league by defeating Lyon both home and away. Lyon is still going through a tough time now while Manchester United is almost out of their issues which gives them the advantage in that match. Lyon was defeated yesterday by Strasbourg by 4:2 which was a big surprise to many people who expected Lyon to win. Manchester United will take advantage of the situation to progress to the next stage of the Europa and hope they are able to defeat their next opponent.
Looking at the results of the last match when Lyon lost to Strasbourg then Manchester United should be able to beat Lyon but it is not certain that this can be done by Manchester United. I still see the chance of a draw in this match and if one of them wins I will choose Manchester United. Lyon did not show a good game at all against Strasbourg and this is a big worry when they face Manchester United who are much more dangerous in attack so if they are not prepared well it will make Lyon experience bad results again.
Lyon might be tough when playing other clubs but I don't think that their toughness is a problem to United. Manchester United is a team that when they are serious to win an important match, they do put in their best to make sure that they achieve victory. EPL matches might not be important to Amorim because he is using it as an experiment to know what strategy fits the players on ground. That's why you see him changing players to play in different wings and positions. However, this is an important match which Amorim knows he needs to win. He will definitely use his best winning strategy and players.
