Ruben Amorim really had no other option. The only message he could give to his players after one of the most resounding away wins not only of his short time in charge but of Manchester United's long European history was to warn against complacency. "I think they have to think about the second leg, and more about the first 20 minutes (of this first leg) than the rest of the game," he said. That was sensible. More than sensible.

Harry Maguire's career arc at Manchester United has had many undulations but his header in stoppage time of extra time against Lyon is sending his trajectory upwards once more. Such was the bewildering elation that winning goal provoked on a night for the ages, it is possible to detect how Maguire's time at the club, once deemed a failure, will be viewed more positively in retrospect, a sense enhanced if United go on to win the Europa League.

Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot may not play again this season after suffering a calf injury. Dalot, 26, has only been absent for one game for United this season, making 51 appearances and missing the 3-1 Premier League win over Southampton in January. But head coach Ruben Amorim gave an update on his Portuguese compatriot when speaking at a news conference on Friday, after he played the final half an hour of last Sunday's 1-0 home loss against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot were caught up in it, standing next to each other on the touchline with their arms in the air, willing their 22-year-old team-mate to score what would have been only his second goal in 28 club appearances.

Ruben Amorim has defended Rasmus Hojlund's lack of goals and insists that Manchester United's low scoring rate is a team issue. United's 1-0 defeat at home by Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday meant that Hojlund has found the net just once - in last month's victory at Leicester City - in his last 28 appearances for the club, dating back to December 12.
