Manchester United v Lyon – Maguire heads winner as United come back from the dead to nick wild thriller

Europe is slower and less physical than the Premier League and he's improved through the season. But somehow, Rasmus Hojlund will need to find the best version of himself, and he is capable. His United goals are of an almost uniformly high standard and many of them he created for himself. Now, though, after a near-total absence of quality service – it must also be said that his movement and anticipation are frequently poor – he is bereft of confidence.

Often, that tells you both managers are happy; here, it tells you they don't have options.

Then we'll consider what we might see.

A comedown for both clubs, both previously domestically dominant and perennial Champions Leaguers. So United arrive at this match hoping to salvage a disastrous season, not just by winning a trophy but by giving Ruben Amorim a summer budget that gives him the best chance of making things less dreadful.

Lyon, meanwhile, are in a terrible financial mess – worse even than United. They might yet be relegated for irregularities – try saying that after a Babycham – so arrive at Old Trafford absolutely rabid for it, because winning this competition might just save them.

This is going to be intense.
