MAN UTD BEAT 10-MAN BILBAO TO CLOSE IN ON EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL

May 2, 2025

Bruno Fernandes scored twice as Manchester United earned a commanding lead in their Europa League semi-final with a shock 3-0 first-leg victory at 10-player Athletic Club.

United were three up at half-time after breaching Europe’s tightest home defence at the Estadio de San Mames, where the LaLiga side hadn’t lost since August.

It took something special to unlock Athletic Club when HARRY MAGUIRE momentarily turned into a winger, showing quick feet on the right before crossing into the near post for MANUEL UGARTE, who flicked the ball on for Casemiro to head home the opener in the 30th minute.

Athletic Club made two substitutions to try and halt United’s momentum, but FERNANDESadded a third before the half was finished, slotting home from UGARTE’S clever backheel to put the visitors in dreamland.
