Regardless of what happens v Bilbao it's a European tie that will be remembered for many years to come such a madcap match.

United would have only themselves to blame if knocked out. Should have came into that match tonight with a 1 or 2 goal lead but thanks to Onana it was 2-2.

Tonight 2-0 in control of the tie big chances to make it 3-0 came and went and then found themselves 4-2 behind into the 2nd half of extra time but credit where it's due managed to win 5-4 with no striker on the pitch and it what appeared little or no options on the bench to get a goal.

Unbelievable game. Utd should've been out of sight by HT. That elusive 3rd goal just wouldn't come.
Then lyon scored and the doubt set in. 2 all and 2-3, then 2-4.
Casemiros contribution to the comeback, won the pen and assisted Mainoo and Maguire.
What a night.

That was bloody brilliant theatre.

Athletic will be hard to beat. The final is in their stadium.

Nights like last night make a shit season all worthwhile. Nothing won and utd wouldn't be favourites.
But cup competitions have kept us going last few years.
Roll on Bilbao.
That Old Stadium has witnessed many great nights.more important wins yes but not many as dramatic as last night. The wee lad crying at 2-4 to him celebrating with his dad at 5-4. All in space of 6 minutes. Bloody he'll, football eh. VAR has killed football in my opinion, it's mostly a bore fest, nothing boring last night.

Fair play to United and Amorim for the season they have been having and a question mark about the character and personality of alot of players they deserve enormous credit for turning that around last night. Lyon will be sick.

I do like Amorin though, so happy for him, but Tory Jim Radcliffe can go do one.

Can only imagine how sick Manchester United players and manager would have felt if they had lost that tie after in total control of it. For all the tactics,system of play and even Amorim out with his fancy tactic board at extra time it still took the old school play of throwing the big centre back up top to win the game for you.

Have to hand it to Man U, despite their many limitations they know how to do comebacks. That was unreal. Just knew when they got that penalty they'd end up winning it.

Utd could be on course to finish 17th. They have a tough run in...away to Bournemouth and Brentford before a proper 6 pointer against west ham. They have the Europa league semi's (that they will surely prioritize) sandwiched in between those 3 games, then they wrap it away to Chelsea and home to Villa who will probably be still chasing champions league football.

League place doesn't matter now . All or nothing on europa league. Keep men fit give kids a run out. The manager has already stated that.

How Utd still grab the posts is beyond me. They are dung but still get most of the media attention.

As for finishing positions a great Liverpool manager had a line about that... now how did it go....

Utd won't get past the next game and if they did Spurs are better

The good news is that Ipswichs loss yesterday means United are safe from relegation for another season.

Yes, but theres a real possibility they could finish 17th.

Because united are always headline news. No matter how bad or good they are.
Manchester United are the Premier league.
Deal with it.
