United are almost certain to record their lowest-ever Premier League finish and points total, but their dream in the Europa League is still alive.

They have secured a spot in the final four, and winning the competition would see them play Champions League football next season.

Andre Onana was the talk of the town in the first leg, gifting two goals to Lyon as they held United to a 2-2 draw.

However, Amorim’s side edged past Lyon in the second leg at Old Trafford.

Manuel Ugarte opened the scoring for the Red Devils, before Diogo Dalot added a second to put United in the driving seat at half-time.

Corentin Tolisso and former Arsenal star Alexander Lacazette scored to level the game on the night AND the tie.

The game was then sent to extra time, where Lacazette and Rayan Cherki thought they had settled the game, but Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo both scored to make the tie 6-6 on aggregate.

Then, Harry Maguire WON the game for Man United in added time at the end of ET, with the score ending 7-6 to Amorim’s side on aggregate.

Who will Man Utd play in Europa League semi-final?

United has long been aware of their possible path to the Europa League final because the quarter-final and semi-final drawings are held simultaneously with the round-of-16 draw in February.

After defeating FCSB 7-1 on aggregate, the Red Devils advanced to the quarterfinals by eliminating Real Sociedad and were placed with Lyon.

This implies Man United will play Athletic Bilbao after they beat Rangers 2-0 in the second leg in Spain.

The final of the 2025 Europa League will be held on Wednesday, May 21. San Mamés Stadium, the home field of Athletic Bilbao in Bilbao, Spain plays host.
