Manchester United's 3-0 10-man Biba final is in sight! For 100 million, the two teams were judged to be two teams, and the two records inspired the Red Devils to rise to the occasion

Manchester United played a surprising result in the Europa League semi-final at the Basque Country, Spain, with both feet on the verge of reaching the final. Red Devils fans chanted "Return to Bilbao" from the stands, and they may have already booked their flights and hotels, as the Europa League final on 21 May is played at Athletic Bilbao's home stadium. The title rivals may be Tottenham Hotspur, also from the Premier League, who beat Norway's Bodø 3-1 at home.

Ruben Amorim opted for a starting line-up of eight defensive players, with a focus on counter-attacking and most of the players coming into the field as no surprise, with the exception of probably Swedish centre-back Victor Lindelof, who beat Luke Shaw as 'Carlos 'British' probably hasn't been able to start back-to-back starts.

Manchester United are clearly looking to play a counter-attacking game away from home, build on the unbeaten run, and return to home to settle the battle. Bilbao has the tightest defense in La Liga, while Manchester United have only scored 12 goals in the last 12 Premier League games, but they didn't expect the score to be 0-3 in the first half, and the Red Devils basically finished the game.

Manchester United wore a blue away shirt during the game, and in order to avoid contrasting colours with Bilbao, they also changed their trousers to a rare silver-grey colour. Not only were the outfits different, but the Reds were also judged to be two teams in the game, with the Manchester Evening News jokingly calling them a "different beast" in the Europa League, scoring 15 goals in five knockout games and playing a perfect result away from home against the favourites.

In the opening five minutes, Garnacho scored a solo goal, but unfortunately he ran one step early, and the offside was invalidated for the first goal. After that, United made a few mistakes when the starting Victor Lindelof was cut off at the back, but Casemiro was able to make up for it. "The Swedish Iceman" quickly made amends by clearing Berenger's must-score goal from the goal line.

After withstanding the attack of Bilbao's Williams brothers, in the last 15 minutes of the first half, Manchester United played a "wave" and took the game away. In the 30th minute, Maguire turned into a right winger, smashed the left and right and then crossed the bottom, Ugarte nodded the ball in front of the ferry, Casemiro headed the ball into the back post, and Manchester United led Bilbao 1-0.

In the 37th minute, Manchester United sent a cross from the right, and Hojlund was dragged to the ground by Dani Vivian when he grabbed the point in front of the goal. The Spaniard may have forgotten that he may not be able to score a shot from Mr. £72 million, but if he does not have a chance to touch the ball and commits a foul on a major opportunity, it must be a "red dot package" with a red card and a penalty.

Vivian was sent off and United, who had one more man, were converted from the penalty spot by captain Bruno Fernandes to give Bilbao a 2-0 lead.

Before the end of the first half, Ugarte's heel assist at the top of the penalty area was assisted, and B Fei singled out the net to give Manchester United a 3-0 lead.

Yibian fought again, Manchester United Mingjin closed the troops, and did not attack frantically because of one more player. Referee Espen Esquez also relaxed the scale, and when Dorgu crossed from the left, Garnacho fell to the ground in front of goal, but the referee ignored it. After turning his head, Maguire and Sannadi had a physical confrontation, and the Bilbao player fell to the ground, and the referee also ruled that there was no foul.

Bilbao has already lost in a hurry, and the number 17 Garnacho is frequently kicked to the ground by opponents, which may be one of the reasons why Amorim chose to play in order to avoid accidental injuries. In the final 30 minutes, United missed a couple of great chances, such as Casemiro's header from Fernandes Fernandes.

Although Manchester United have been on the verge of being overturned by their opponents in the lead, last season's Champions League games against Copenhagen and Galatasaray both lost a two-goal lead, and the FA Cup semi-final against Coventry City was even 3-0 tied or even narrowly missed. But there is reason to believe that this season this Manchester United will be enough to hold on to a three-goal advantage at home in the second leg in the Europa League!

Manchester United's last six European knockouts have all been defeats to La Liga sides, but that will come to a halt. The Red Devils seem to be particularly confident in the Europa League, perhaps underpinned by two major records: firstly, they remain the only unbeaten team in Europe this season, unbeaten in 13 games; Second, Amorim is the first manager since Ferguson to go unbeaten in his first nine European matches.

Red Devils players have reason to fight hard because it is directly related to their income. The Europa League final means a huge £100 million in revenue for the club, including winnings and participation in next season's UEFA Super Cup and Champions League. And most of Manchester United's players, if they can help the team enter the Champions League, will get back the 25% of their salary that has been deducted this season! For Casemiro, who opened the scoring, that meant £4.5 million; The B fee for the brace is £4 million.

Bilbao are ranked high enough in La Liga to qualify for the Champions League, so they don't have as much fighting spirit as Manchester United. Under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the Red Devils lost to Villarreal on penalties in the Europa League final, and the opposite was true, as they had already qualified for the Champions League through the Premier League rankings, and the 'Yellow Submarine' had to win the trophy in order to make money in the Champions League.

The change in mentality was small but decisive, with Harry Maguire saying after the game: "It was a great result, scoring three goals and keeping a clean sheet. Everyone expects us to qualify for the final, we have one foot in the final, but the task is not done. We will be ready for the second leg at Old Trafford next Thursday. The team was a little nervous in the first 20 minutes of the game, but the finishing kick was very efficient. We had a chance to score the fourth goal, but in the end it was a great win.'

As Harry Maguire said, United's result was perfect, but there were still flaws in the process and the first 30 minutes were not good. Luckily, a number of key players and luck ensued to get the Red Devils to the desired end. Harry Maguire had perhaps the best season of his time at Manchester United, playing not only as a centre-back, but also as a centre-forward, and even as a winger, Ronaldo and Yamal were possessed. And Casemiro is still Doraemon in Europe, and he is also afraid of the three-point bully "Fat Tiger".

Perhaps, as Amorim said, the physical confrontation in Europe is much lower than in the Premier League. But that may no longer be the case in the final, as potential opponents Tottenham are also England teams, and they are as bad in the Premier League as Manchester United, and have already seen the Europa League as a last straw. Against Bode Shine, Tottenham broke the deadlock in 38 seconds.

Manchester United's Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur will be England's fifth European title. As we all know, the Red Devils won the Champions League final against Chelsea on penalties in 2008; Tottenham, on the other hand, were beaten 2-0 by Liverpool in the 2019 Champions League final, having also won the trophy by beating Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 1972 UEFA Cup final.

But Amorim cautioned United not to think so far ahead: "I thought it was a good result, but we struggled at the start, Casemiro's goal and the red card changed the game, and there was a bit of luck to it. The suspense isn't over yet because we can have the same situation at Old Trafford, the opposition is strong and we can also be sent off in the second leg, so we have to be ready. Whether in life or sports, there is one thing called luck. In the Premier League, we sometimes concede goals unexpectedly, come up 1-0 down and then it's difficult. In the Europa League, we had good luck at the crucial moments and we played well. It's not about qualifying for the Champions League, we know we've not done well this season and we want to bring some other things to the fans because they still support us no matter how bad the rankings are.'
