Three Manchester United players were given a brutal rating by French outlet L’Equipe following the Red Devils’ stunning 5-4 (7-6 on aggregate) comeback win in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday.
The sides came into the game level after a 2-2 draw in Lyon on April 10.
On Thursday, Man United started well and found themselves 2-0 up on the night at Old Trafford thanks to strikes from Manuel Ugarte and Diogo Dalot.
However, the Ligue 1 outfit fought back and found themselves level at 2-2 on 77 minutes after goals from Corentin Tolisso and Nicolas Tagliafico.
Goalscorer and Lyon captain Tolisso was then sent off on 89 minutes for a second bookable offence, meaning his side had it all to do with ten men heading into extra time.
And to the dismay of the majority of supporters gathered inside Old Trafford, the away side took a shock lead through Rayan Cherki on 104 minutes before former Arsenal forward Alexandre Lacazette scored a penalty five minutes later to make it 4-2 on the night.
But against all odds, United hit back with three quick-fire goals from Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire to secure a historic 5-4 win (7-6 on aggregate) to set up a semi-final clash against Athletic Club, who had beaten Rangers 2-0 earlier in the evening.
