Manchester United reversed the double 4-1 and competed for the title with Tottenham in the final! Mount's two goals to resurrect add to Amorim's Champions League hopes

Manchester United beat Athletic Bilbao 4-1 at Old Trafford to beat them over two legs to progress to this season's Europa League final 7-1 on aggregate. On Thursday 22 May, at 3am, the Red Devils will return to the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao to face Tottenham Hotspur, also from the Premier League, for the Europa League title and Champions League qualification next season, with the latter beating Norway's Bodø Shine 2-0 away to advance 5-1 over two legs. This Europa League Premier League civil war is potentially worth £100 million, and Manchester United are just one game away from saving the season.

Before the game, Manchester United fans chanted "Return to Bilbao" and the Folkee Stand once again unfurled a TIFO to motivate the team, this time with the message that Manchester United brought home the Europa League. But once the game began, the Reds lived up to manager Ruben Amorim's pre-match assessment, saying his side were the worst in the Premier League......

United had plenty of chances to extend their lead, with Garnacho having a good chance in the opening 16 minutes but he couldn't stop the ball and goalkeeper Julian Aguirrezavala stepped in to get the ball in.

After another quarter of an hour, the hero of the first leg, Harry Maguire, was too big and misplaced a cross from the back, Bilbao had two shots in quick succession, and Hauregisar's long-range shot finally beat Andre Onana to give Bilbao a 1-0 lead over Manchester United.

Harry Maguire's mistake was the key to conceding this goal, and he showed the biggest flaw of Manchester United today: when you think they can't do it, they can surprise them; However, once you think they can, it's out of the basket. Lindelof, Ugarte and other first-round heroes have also significantly regressed in their performances.

Fortunately, the "Basque Lions" are missing the three cores of the front, and the injuries of Inaki and Nico Williams brothers and Oyhan Sanset are equivalent to Manchester United's lack of Amad Diallo, Zirkze and Bruno Fernandez! As a result, Bilbao took a one-goal lead but did not threaten more and had their only shot on target of the game.

United could have equalised just before half-time, but Garnacho calmly picked the ball wide after receiving a through ball from Patrick Dolgu and forming a one-on-one shot again. At half-time, United trailed by one goal 1-0.

The turning point came in the 63rd minute, when both teams made three substitutions in a row, with Amaury bringing on Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Ahmad. €40 million Mr. Ahmad quickly revitalized the front line, while Mount scored in two games in a row!

In the 72nd minute, centre-back Lenny Yoro unexpectedly dribbled the ball into the left side of the penalty area, and Mount won the ball and turned and fired a right-footed shot into the far corner to give United a 1-1 equaliser. It reminded fans of the classic goal of "prodigy" Machaida who beat Aston Villa that year, and it was also Mason Mount's first goal at Old Trafford, after the 26-year-old scored both goals at Brentford's home turf.

The equaliser meant that Bilbao's hopes of qualification were completely shattered, and they collapsed as a result. Seven minutes later, Fernandes took a free-kick from the right and Casemiro headed it in as United overtook Bilbao 2-1.

In the 85th minute, Ahmad crossed from the right side, the ball hit the feet of the Bilbao defender, and Hojlund, who was one meter in front of the goal, scored an empty goal, Manchester United 3-1 Bilbao.

In stoppage time, the Bilbao goalkeeper made a mistake on a pass and provided an own goal, and Mount smiled and fired home from midfield to give United a 4-1 victory. It was substitute Mason Mount who scored twice in 30 minutes to double his tally for the Reds, as he scored the same two goals in the previous 42 games.

After the game, United's £60 million midfielder smiled: "I've waited too long for a night like this. I'm constantly moving forward, working hard every day in training and keeping a positive attitude. When I get the chance, I try to make a difference. It paid off today because I came out and affected the game. When I came off the bench, it was tense and I just tried to calm it down. The crowd was incredible, they were with the team. For me, it was my first goal at the Theatre of Dreams and I've been waiting for a night like this for a long time. Coming back to Bilbao is a special moment and we want to win the title."

Manchester United did not play well for the most part, but they still mustered up the courage to come back and win. Amorim also had a big smile on his favourite Mason Mount's goal, and he had reason to be optimistic, at least in Europe. Manchester United are unbeaten in 14 Europa League games and have scored 19 goals in six knockout games, and only one more win will be needed to achieve their goal of winning the title and qualifying for the Champions League.

Amorim commented: "If you just look at the scoreline, you probably think it's an easy game. But it wasn't until we scored the first goal. Until then, United were a little anxious, but I think we deserved to be in the final.'

But the final can present a different challenge, and Amorim will need to play a good game of 'Premier League' if he wants to repeat the success of his teacher Jose Mourinho in 2017 when he led Manchester United to the Europa League and Champions League, as he will be joined in the final by Tottenham Hotspur, who also failed in the Premier League. Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou could be sacked at the end of the season, but he has won four and drawn one of his five meetings with Manchester United during his time in charge.

Amorim has repeatedly emphasised that the reason United have excelled in European football is that the intensity of the game is not as physical as in the Premier League, and the Red Devils players love that atmosphere. Speaking after the game, he reiterated his sentiment: "I think the physicality is the key, we are more comfortable playing in this kind of game. In the Premier League, I said physically, we were more comfortable in the Europa League.'

But in the final, that won't be the case, with Tottenham still one place behind Manchester United in the Premier League and desperately trying to redeem themselves with the Europa League title, so it will be a fierce contest. However, Mount's recent performances may give Amorim's Manchester United an advantage over the "people". For the Red Devils, Ahmad is back from injury, Mason Mount is recovering and Diogu Dalow is also likely to return early; In contrast, Tottenham Hotspur core James Maddison was reimbursed for the season with a serious injury. In addition, Manchester United, who played in the semi-finals at San Mamés, may also have a good position.

Amorim said: "I think it's going to be a very good final. Both sides will be a bit emotional as both teams are struggling in the Premier League and both want to win this title. It's two teams in the same league who know each other and the game means a lot, not just for us but for Tottenham as well. This means a lot, not only for me, but also for Anger (Postecoglou). You might think it's hard for a big club to lose four times in a row, but we can't think like that. Now I'm going to focus on the next game, I need to win, but don't get injured before the final. If you make it to the final and don't win, it doesn't mean anything."
