Man United 4-1 Athletic Bilbao (7-1 AGG): Mason Mount Stars in beautiful cameo as Red Devils Rubber Stamp Place in the Europa League final after another Old Trafford Fightback

Ve Day meant exactly that for Manchester United. They will play in the Europa League Final in the Estadio San Mames in two weeks after depriving athletic Bilbao of an invitation to their own party.

United did not make it easy for itself before they secured a passage to the north coast of Spain where they will meet Tottenham In an all-prime minister League affair in Bilbao on 21 May. Of course they didn’t.

But at least there was nothing of the madness of their quarterfinals victory over Lyon last month when they came from behind to flatter themselves with a 4-1 victory in the night and this season undefeated to stay in Europe after 12 games.

Ruben Amorim Had to be concerned that his players would “lose our thoughts again,” but they didn’t lose anything last night. Not the game, not the draw and not the possibility to win a trophy that would guarantee automatic qualification for that of next season Champions Leaguewhatever Arsene Wenger Could think about it.

No, United has something to win from these most peculiar seasons. In general it can be a depreciation, but the victory in Europe should not be sniffed.

They gave an impressive 3-0 lead last week for the first stage in Spain, they went behind to an excellent strike by Mikel Jaureguizar in the first half, but turned the match with late goals of Mason Mountwho scored twice, Casemiro And Rasmus Hojlund.

However, United will have to play much better against spurs than this. They were nervous and incoherent about a determined Bilbao team.

Amorim’s side never looked like the suffering of the kind of collapse he feared after he had let in four goals against Lyon. But it is a measure of how much drama United their head coach and fans have passed, that it still felt as if Bilbao scoring the complexion of this draw could change considerably and that turned out to be almost the case.

United, however, ceased to deny Athletic an appearance in the San Mames for their own supporters, of whom almost 4,000 came to Old Trafford who dreamed of a wonderback.

United had to suck more pressure at the start of the second half and Amorim made a triple replacement just after the hour, sent on Berg, Amad Diallo and Luke Shaw.

All three had a hand in the equalizer in the 72nd minute. Diallo ran the right side and crossed to the mountain that could not get a good connection with his head. Shaw played the ball back to Yoro and he feeded the mountain it spans well before curling a shot in the bottom corner.

The game was ready for Bilbao and United for a winner in the 79th minute. Fernandes was polluted by Unai Nunez on the right and picked up to curl a free kick to the nearby pole. Casemiro was put away from his marked and bent to send a header over Agrerezabala.

Hojlund got a third in the 85th minute and tapped home up close after Dorgu Diallo had fed on the overlap, before Mount used from Agrerezabala’s bad clearance to shoot firmly in an empty net from 50 meters.

It was Mount’s third goal in five days after 400 without one, but left a Scoreline that was exceptionally hard on Bilbao.
