Manchester United have taken a giant leap toward the Europa League final with a dominant 3-0 win over Athletic Bilbao in the semifinal first leg. In a game of high stakes for manager Ruben Amorim and his squad, the Red Devils delivered a clinical first-half performance that all but sealed the tie.
The breakthrough came early for United, and the momentum swung further in their favor when Bilbao defender Dani Vivian was shown a straight red card for a last-man foul on Rasmus Højlund. The challenge, which denied a clear goal-scoring opportunity, was initially overlooked but overturned after a VAR review.
From there, United ramped up the pressure. The numerical advantage helped Amorim’s men pile on the intensity, and all three goals came before the halftime whistle, showcasing their attacking prowess and hunger to secure their only realistic shot at silverware this season.
