Manchester United defeated Athletic Bilbao 4-1 in the Europa League on Thursday at Old Trafford to complete a big 7-1 aggregate victory, setting up a mouthwatering final against Tottenham.
Ruben Amorim’s men, 3-0 up after the first leg, conceded firstin the game but hit back with a brace from Mason Mount and strikes from Casemiro and Rasmus Hojlund.
After Casemiro and Rasmus Hojlund goals had pit United in front, Mount pounced on a loose ball 45 yards away from goal and struck a superb shot into an empty net.
The goal capped a memorable Old Trafford night and maintained United’s unbeaten record in the competition.
The final outcome was harsh on the Spanish visitors, who were by far the better side for long periods and led at half-time thanks to Mikel Jauregizar’s magnificent 30-yard effort.
That did not matter to the home fans at the final whistle as they will now get a shot at salvaging their season against another struggling Premier League side, Tottenham.
