United's task easier with Bilbao trio out
The Straits Times
|May 08, 2025
Manchester United are preparing for the second leg of their Europa League semi-final against Athletic Bilbao on May 8, knowing only a calamity will prevent a likely showdown with Tottenham Hotspur on May 21.
-
MANCHESTER -
Ruben Amorim's men came away from the first leg in Spain last week with one foot firmly in the final, also in Bilbao, after an impressive 3-0 win.
It was an extraordinary result in a season of ceaseless turmoil at United, and the club reverted to type on May 4, crashing to their 16th English Premier League loss of a miserable season at Brentford.
United have now suffered their highest number of league defeats in a campaign for 35 years. They are 15th in the league - on course for their worst finish since they were relegated in 1974, though this time they are safe from the drop.
Amorim has made no secret of his priorities for the rest of the season, making eight changes to his starting team at Brentford, naming the third-youngest side in Premier League history.
