Maguire the Hero as Manchester United Reach Europa League Semi-Final in Extra-Time Thriller

Manchester United have secured their place in the Europa League semi-final after a dramatic and almost unbelievable spell of extra time at Old Trafford.

Lyon, reduced to 10 men, looked to have taken control of the tie with two quick goals, pulling ahead 6-4 on aggregate. But just as United had earlier let their lead slip, the French side crumbled under pressure.

Bruno Fernandes calmly slotted home a penalty to reduce the deficit, before substitute Kobbie Mainoo delivered a superb finish to level the tie at 6-6 on aggregate.

As the match appeared destined for a penalty shootout, unlikely hero Harry Maguire—thrown up front in a desperate move—rose highest to nod in the decisive goal, sparking scenes of euphoria around the stadium.

United will now face Athletic Club in what promises to be a thrilling semi-final clash, as Ruben Amorim’s side continue their quest for European glory.
