Manchester United's 23-year-old forward Joshua Zirkzee, who joined from Bologna for £35.7 million, will miss the remainder of the season due to a hamstring injury sustained during the team's recent 4-1 defeat at Newcastle. Manager Ruben Amorim confirmed the injury, noting that Zirkzee, who scored off the bench against Lyon in the first leg, will not play again this season and preparations will be made for his recovery ahead of the next campaign. In a significant development for the upcoming Europa League quarter-final second leg against Lyon, 29-year-old Cameroon international goalkeeper Andre Onana is set to return to the starting lineup. Onana was dropped for the previous match against Newcastle following two errors in the first leg against Lyon, where Altay Bayindir played instead. However, Amorim has decided to reinstate Onana for the crucial game at Old Trafford.
