Man Utd vs. Athletic Club: Preview, Predictions and Lineups

Manchester United will confirm their place in the Europa League final on Thursday evening should they avoid losing by more than two goals at home to Athletic Club in their semifinal second leg.

Bruno Fernandes' brace and Casemiro's effort secured a 3–0 first leg victory over the ten-man Basque outfit in Bilbao last week, meaning the Red Devils are in an extremely strong position to reach the showpiece fixture. Should they avoid a collapse at Old Trafford, they will face either Tottenham Hotspur or Bodø/Glimt - the former most likely after their 3–1 first leg triumph.
