Thursday night delivered one of the most memorable European occasions in Manchester United’s history.
The Red Devils looked in complete control against Lyon, heading into half-time with a 2-0 lead on the night and 4-2 up on aggregate. What followed stunned Old Trafford.

The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event in the UK today, wfrom the kick off time of 2PM BST.
Two goals in the final 20 minutes brought Lyon level, and with United stunned, the French side pushed into extra time despite being down to 10 men.
They scored twice more to take a 6-4 aggregate lead with six minutes to play. That appeared to be the end of the road.
But Bruno Fernandes converted from the spot to give United late hope, and Kobbie Mainoo equalised on the 120-minute mark. As fans braced for penalties, Harry Maguire popped up with the winner just moments later. United progressed to the semi-finals with a 7-6 aggregate victory.
The result could be the catalyst United have been waiting for. Ruben Amorim has hinted that some younger players will get a chance in the league as the focus shifts towards lifting silverware in Europe.
Wolves head to Old Trafford in excellent form. Four straight wins in the Premier League have propelled them up to 16th, just three points behind both Manchester United and Everton in 13th.
A fifth consecutive top flight victory would mark their best run since December 1971. It’s a rare opportunity for Wolves to climb the table and apply pressure to the teams above them.
They won the reverse fixture on Boxing Day but success at Old Trafford has been hard to come by. Wolves have won just once in their last 16 visits and have only one win against United in the last five meetings overall.
