Lyon's Parc OL stadium will host the final of the 2017-18 Europa League.

The 59,286-capacity arena was opened in time for Euro 2016 and was the venue for Wales' and the Republic of Ireland's knockout defeats.

And UEFA's executive committee has chosen Lyon to host the final of its second-tier competition, following on from this season's host Solna, in Sweden.

Manchester United will hope to make it that far and will find out their last-32 opponents on Monday when the draws for the knockout stages of both the Europa League and Champions League are made.
