A huge game for Ruben Amorim and Man United
Man United’s 3-0 first leg victory in Basque Country means anything better than a three goal defeat at Old Trafford will mean a final ticket.
A place in the final is not just about lifting the Europa League trophy. It will also give United, currently 16th in the Premier League, backdoor entry into the Champions League next season and a chance to earn the vast revenue associated with Europe’s premier competition.
First there is the matter of defeating Athletic Bilbao. The Spanish side were disappointing in the home leg and will be going all out attack to reverse the deficit. With the final set to place at their home at San Mames in Bilbao there is plenty to play for in the second leg.
The match will be shown in TNT Sports in the UK and Ireland. The former BT Sports channel has all of the rights to Europa League and Conference League games and will showcase the United semi-final tie on its main channels tonight.
