Manchester United travel to France on Thursday to face Lyon in the first leg of their Europa League quarterfinal clash.
It's been another disappointing, frustrating, underwhelming season for Manchester United. Far off the pace for European qualification in the Premier League, out of the FA Cup as the current holders, their quest for the Champions League and a trophy goes solely through the Europa League. They might be a favorite in many eyes because of their name, but they have to prove they can lift the trophy in Spain.
The team needs to be up for it, otherwise they'll find themselves in a hole in the return leg at Old Trafford.
Here's how Manchester United could look come Lyon on Thursday.
