Match Preview
Manchester United return to Old Trafford with a commanding 3-0 lead from the first leg of the Europa League semi-final. Despite the advantage, manager Rúben Amorim has warned his players against complacency, citing past lapses like the near-collapse against Lyon in the previous round. United are expected to field a strong lineup with key players such as Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Højlund likely to start, while Casemiro could be rested depending on game control.
Athletic Bilbao arrive in Manchester facing a serious squad crisis. Key attackers Nico Williams, Iñaki Williams, and midfield orchestrator Oihan Sancet are all ruled out due to injury. Additionally, central defender Dani Vivian is suspended. Coach Ernesto Valverde will have to rely on young backups like Gorka Guruzeta and Unai Gómez to fill the gaps, which significantly reduces their attacking threat.
Nowgoal Prediction
With a comfortable lead and a nearly full-strength squad, Manchester United are expected to control proceedings and avoid unnecessary risks. Their depth and tactical discipline under Amorim have improved noticeably in recent weeks. In contrast, Bilbao’s injury-hit squad and lack of key players make a comeback highly unlikely. United should be able to manage the game effectively and secure a clean sheet at home.
Result Predicted : Manchester United 2-0 Athletic Bilbao
Aggregate Score: Manchester United advance 5-0
