Man United defender Leny Yoro put his body on the line during his side's clash against Lyon.

United were taking on Lyon in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie at Old Trafford on Thursday night, with the scores level at 2-2 after a dramatic first leg.

Goals from Manuel Ugarte and Diogo Dalot put the hosts 2-0 up on the night, but Lyon fought back and took the tie to extra-time thanks to strikes from Corentin Tolisso and Nicolas Tagliafico.

United came under pressure towards the end of the game and one defensive moment left fans in awe.

As Lyon's Malick Fofana cut inside the area when the score was 2-1, Yoro slipped as he attempted to keep up with the winger.

However, the Frenchman didn't give up and remarkably dived in front of the ball to block Fofana's shot with his head.

Speaking on TNT Sports' commentary of the clash, United defender Rio Ferdinand was left in awe of Yoro.

'I hope he's alright, but I can't help laughing. He slips, he loses his balance. OOOH. Look at that, he slips over. WOW
