Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has indicated that he would like his side to face Manchester United in the Europa League final.
The Ligue 1 giants won an exciting penalty shootout at Besiktas last night to reach the semi-finals of the Europa League and joined Manchester United, Ajax and Celta Vigo in the last four of the competition.
The draw for the semi-finals is set to take place later today and the Lyon president stressed that he has no preferences when it comes to his side’s opponents in the last four.
