During the last six meetings, Manchester United have won three times, there have been three draws, while Olympique Lyon have won zero times. The goal difference is 9-6 in favor of Manchester United. Martinez, Maguire, Zirkzee, Collyer, Amad, Heaven, De Ligt, and Evans are expected to miss this game for the Red Devils.

3-4-2-1 Manchester United Predicted Lineup Against Lyon:

Defense:

In defense, Andre Onana remains the goalkeeper, a controversial figure whose confidence can inspire yet falter under pressure. His performances this season have been a mixed bag, with moments of brilliance overshadowed by costly errors. Noussair Mazraoui, Harry Maguire, and Leny Yoro form the back three. Mazraoui’s versatility has been a bright spot, adapting well to Ruben Amorim’s system, while Maguire’s leadership offers stability despite occasional lapses. Yoro, the young talent, has shown maturity this season. This will be the probable defense.

Midfield:

The midfield trio of Diogo Dalot, Manuel Ugarte, Casemiro, and Patrick Dorgu brings dynamism and grit. Dalot, thriving as a wing-back, has been a consistent outlet, his energy lifting the team. Ugarte’s tenacity has added steel, though his integration is still a work in progress. Casemiro, revitalized under Amorim, anchors the midfield with veteran savvy, rediscovering his commanding presence. Dorgu, the new arrival, injects pace and boldness, though his inexperience occasionally shows.

Attack:

Up top, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Hojlund lead the attack. Fernandes remains United’s heartbeat, his passion and creativity driving the team even on off days. He will play as the right playmaker. Garnacho’s flair excites, but his decision-making has been erratic. He will play as left attacking midfielder. Hojlund, the focal point, has struggled to find rhythm, his confidence visibly shaken by missed chances.
