MANCHESTER United are heading to the Europa League semi-final after BEATING Lyon.
Ruben Amorim has something to celebrate in the midst of his side’s disastrous Premier League season.
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.
