Ruben Amorim said the Manchester United fans who left Old Trafford before their dramatic comeback against Lyon will be “gutted”. United trailed 4-2 in extra time of the Europa League quarter-final when Alexandre Lacazette converted a 109th minute penalty and some supporters decided to head for the exits.

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim described the noise of the Old Trafford crowd as the “best sound I’ve ever heard” after Harry Maguire’s last-minute winner sealed a comeback victory over Lyon. Maguire headed home in the 121st minute as United came from 4-2 down to win 5-4 — 7-6 on aggregate — and progress to the Europa League semi-finals.

Ruben Amorim says he is willing to risk more heavy defeats in the Premier League to keep his Manchester United side fresh for the Europa League after their dramatic quarter-final win against Lyon. United looked dead and buried at Old Trafford after a dramatic turnaround from ten-man Lyon saw the French side 6-4 ahead on aggregate with ten minutes of extra-time remaining.
