Well I can only think that Manchester united are going to win because they desperately need to salvage something out of the entire season because the way things are looking now it's like their only hope is the Europa league and for reason they have been playing well over there and a mess in the premier league. Olympic Lyon themselves aren't that much in good form also so I believe Manchester united can actually come up with a good result in that fixture.
Every other remaining team in that tournament is thinking about the same, hehehe
Just look at how Manchester United performed tonight. Are you really confident that they are the out right favorites? I personally don't think so. Maguire has to even come in as a substitute and play as a center forward. It was so laughable to say the very least,
I think they are allowed to have their ambitions and we really don’t get to judge them with this EPL performance. I’m sure what they are doing in the EPL is just to minimize collateral damage as they sure know they are out of it and isn’t getting anything from the league this season. They just need to climb to a some worth comfortable spot while any hopes of getting a trophy this season, they would take that up with the Europa. Clearly it wouldn’t be easy with them but, they still look like the favorites.
Truth be told, Manchester United are just getting away in the Europa League against teams that do not match their confidence. If Manchester United were what we thought as much, no doubt in mind that we won't see them in the final. Lyon is not much contender, they can easily beat Lyon and move into the semi finals which will determine, next on still isn't a competitive club, (Athletic club or Rangers), maybe we just skip our interest on the remaining matches and hope for the final where they face Premier League rivals Tottenham.
Maybe it's true that if Manchester United can play with extreme confidence, then maybe we can say that they can easily cross the quarter-final threshold. But when they reach the semi-finals beyond the quarter-finals, they will have to face a much stronger team. The Ligue 1 club Lions are not a strong enough team, they have been playing inconsistently, so opportunities may automatically arise for Manchester United against this team. The Lions Football Club may look a little stronger on their familiar ground but perhaps Manchester United Football Club will be able to overcome that properly.
