Manchester United is in the dark. Joshua Zirkjay (Manchester United) also left with an injury.

Manchester United, led by head coach Ruben Amorim, will play Lyon (France) in the second leg of the Europa League quarterfinals in the 2024-2025 season at Old Trafford in Manchester, England on the 18th (Korea time). The two teams drew 2-2 in the first leg of the quarterfinals.

The lightning fell in the run-up to the game. Zirkjay is on the verge of being out of the season due to his injury. British media BBC reported on the 16th that `Zirkjay may not be able to play in the rest of this season. He hurt his hamstring. It is questionable whether he will be able to play in the rest of the game due to the severity of his injury,' the report said.




Zirkjay started the away game of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 season against Newcastle at St. James' Park in Newcastle, England on the 14th. He collapsed holding his right thigh during the counterattack in the 8th minute of the second half when his team was losing 1-2. Zirkjay lay on the ground and complained of pain for a while. Eventually, he stepped back to the bench with the help of the staff.

Zirkjay joined Manchester United ahead of this season. His transfer fee was £36.5 million. He scored three goals and one assist in 32 league games and two goals and one assist in 10 Europa League games. He started against Newcastle last year, but was replaced in just 33 minutes. On this day, Zirkjay recorded only 14 touches, nine passes and two tackles in 33 minutes. However, he recently showed his presence by scoring important goals in the Europa League against Real Sociedad (Spain) and Lyon.

The BBC said: "'Zirkjay's injury came as a huge blow to Amorim ahead of the second quarter-final match against Lyon. Manchester United have six games left in the EPL. If they advance to the Europa League final, they will play in Bilbao, Spain, on May 22.
