Manchester United v Athletic Bilbao: Line-ups, stats and preview

Preview for Manchester United v Athletic Bilbao

Even the most die-hard Manchester United fan would not have predicted their side winning 3-0 in Spain in the first leg last week.

Ruben Amorim’s men were superb at San Mames, albeit obviously helped by the 35th-minute dismissal of Athletic defender Dani Vivian. They took advantage of their numerical superiority with two goals from Bruno Fernandes after Casemiro had opened the scoring.

The result gives United an incredible opportunity to rescue something from what has been a thoroughly miserable season.

If they can complete the job against Athletic and then see off either Tottenham or Bodo/Glimt in the final, they will have secured a place in next season’s Champions League, a feat that would be hugely important for the club on and off the field.

Not only would it help Sir Jim Ratcliffe clean up the finances but it would also enable Amorim to shop in a different market this summer knowing he can offer new recruits a place in Europe’s elite club competition.

For Athletic, the first leg was a huge let-down.

The prospect of playing a major European final in their home stadium – San Mames will stage the title decider on May 21 – appeared to get to Ernesto Valverde’s players and they fluffed their lines.

They now require a miracle at Old Trafford to get their dream back on track.

Team News for Manchester United v Athletic Bilbao

Amorim will be able to revert to his strongest XI after making wholesale changes for Sunday’s defeat at Brentford, although defender Matthijs de Ligt is a doubt after sustaining an injury at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Athletic’s hopes of producing a remarkable comeback have been hit by the loss of arguably four of their most important players.

Vivian is suspended while top-scorer Oihan Sancet, who has 17 goals in all competitions this season, has not recovered from the injury that kept him out of the first game. It is the absence of the Williams brothers that will harm Athletic most, though. Inaki has a thigh problem while there has been no update on Nico, although he was not included in the official squad list to travel to England.

Stats for Manchester United v Athletic Bilbao

There have been fewer than 3 goals scored in total in each of Athletic Bilbao’s last 5 away gamesNo goals have occurred in the first half in each of Athletic Bilbao’s last 8 away gamesBruno Fernandes has scored in 31% of UEFA Europa League games this season for Manchester UnitedManchester United have won their last 4 games when Bruno Fernandes has scored

Prediction

The absence of the Williams brothers probably eliminates any slim hope Athletic may have had.

That’s not to say it will be a straightforward evening for United. Athletic will be backed by a loud and boisterous support and Valverde’s players will want to put on a show.

We think United get through but don’t be surprised if Athletic put up a real fight.

Prediction: Manchester United 1-2 Athletic Bilbao
