Why is the match on a Wednesday?

Lyon, just over 30 miles from St Etienne, are playing on Thursday night and so Uefa decided to bring this tie forward 24 hours.

What are they saying?

Jose Mourinho on Wayne Rooney's future:

"You'll have to ask him," the United boss said. "You have to ask him.

"Of course I can't guarantee (he will be here). I can't guarantee that I'm here next week, how can I guarantee that a player is here next season?

"What I can guarantee is that if Wayne one day leaves the club it is not because I want him to leave the club. That's the only thing I can guarantee.

"I would never push - or try to push - a legend of this club to another destiny.

"So you have to ask him if he sees himself staying in the club for the rest of his career or if he sees himself moving.

"It is not a question for me because I am happy to have him."
