Ruben Amorim will be hoping Manchester United bounce back when they face Lyon on Thursday in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final.
The Red Devils are still reeling from their 4-1 loss to Newcastle over the weekend, their 14th Premier League defeat of the season.
With Champions League qualification only possible through European glory, Amorim’s men know they cannot afford another slip-up.
A number of key players are also racing against time to return from injury, which continues to limit United’s tactical flexibility in big games.
Meanwhile, plans are already being put in place for summer transfers as the club look to strengthen in key positions, including up front.

Manchester United’s pursuit of a top-tier striker could now face unexpected competition.
West Ham United hold positive talks with Jonathan David
According to The Athletic, West Ham United have made serious moves to secure a move for Jonathan David and have held positive talks with the striker
Jonathan David has been on United’s radar and is widely expected to leave Lille at the end of the season.
While United had been tipped as favourites to land him, West Ham’s early approach has surprised many, especially given their lack of European football next season.
With their current forward options either injured or underperforming, West Ham are desperate to find a reliable goal-scorer to lead their line.
Despite not offering Champions League football, the London club hope to tempt David with a central role in their project and a long-term vision under Graham Potter.
United, however, remain in the race and are still seen as a more attractive option thanks to their global stature and ability to offer big-stage exposure.
Jonathan David has 23 goals and 10 assists this season and has drawn interest from several European giants.
As the summer approaches, Manchester United will need to move quickly if they’re to avoid missing out on yet another top attacking talent.
