Manchester United vs Athletic Club live updates: Europa League predictions, team news and latest score


There’s leaving it late — and then there’s United’s quarter-final second leg win over Lyon.

Before that, they had drawn 2-2 in France with a couple of late goals from Rayan Cherki and Joshua Zirkzee before the bonkers game at Old Trafford.

There, United started strongly thanks to an early goal from Manuel Ugarte and doubled their advantage through Diogo Dalot just before half-time. They looked to be cruising… but two goals in seven minutes from Corentin Tolisso and Nicolas Tagliafico brought the visitors level.

In extra time, Rayan Cherki gave the visitors — who were down to 10 men — the lead before an Alexandre Lacazette penalty put United on the brink of an embarrassing exit.

But Bruno Fernandes scored a spot kick, Kobbie Mainoo equalised off the bench, and auxiliary striker Harry Maguire headed home just seconds later to seal a hugely dramatic stoppage-time victory.
