Manchester United are looking to one of Lyon’s key players this summer as part of their rebuild, with The Red Devils set to have another front-row seat to scout him next week.
In United’s first leg against Lyon in the Europa League Quarter-Final, the two side left the game as equals with Andre Onana one against making significant errors leading to both of Lyon’s goals.
The Cameroon international failed to save a crossed free-kick from Thiago Almada which bounced over him into the back of the net, and then before the final whistle parried a shot into the path of Rayan Cherki who tapped it in for a 2-2 result.
Now, United are preparing for the second leg at Old Trafford, whilst also preparing a summer move for Cherki.

Manchester United look to Rayan Cherki
The Mirror has reported that several clubs are looking to Cherki who has 10 goals and 18 assists in 37 games, with United reportedly leading the race.
The versatile attacker has shown his ability to play on either wing, in attacking midfield or as a striker, having become a key player for his hometown club.
However, United might be able to sign him for £20 million as they look to rebuild their squad under Ruben Amorim.
This isn’t the first time The Red Devils have scouted him, with Nicky Butt wanting to sign the then 16-year-old to their academy.
Now, with just over a year on his contract, the summer presents the last time Lyon could confidently cash in on their star without extending his contract.
United are hoping they can use their previous scouting attempts to lure him away, with him being given a guided tour of Carrington previously, giving The Red Devils the edge over other sides.
