Manchester United vs Lyon: Europa League, Kick-off time

The Groupama Stadium will host an important and intense match between Lyon and Manchester United in the first leg of the 2024-25 UEFA Europa League quarterfinals.

While their domestic form has been forgettable, United have cruised through the Europa League under Amorim, finishing third in the league phase and easing past Real Sociedad in the round of 16. Coming off the back of a dour goalless draw in the Manchester derby and a 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest, the Europa League will become an increasing priority as Amorim looks to scrape qualification for next year’s Champions League.

Lyon have had a comparatively strong domestic campaign, sitting fifth in Ligue 1 after a dominant Paris Saint-Germain, 22 points clear at the summit, claimed an early title last weekend. Having won all but one of their last seven matches, Lyon will be buoyed as they look to carry on their strong form against a wounded United.

Former Arsenal man Alexandre Lacazette is likely to start up top for the French contingent as he looks to build on his paltry record against United of just one goal in eight appearances. Nemanja Matic, who spent five years at Old Trafford after winning three Premier League titles with Chelsea, is also set to feature for the home side.

Date, kick-off time and venue:
Lyon vs Manchester United is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off time tonight, Thursday April 10, 2025.
