Amorim not taking anything for granted in bid to reach final

Our season shows we can 'lose our mind a little bit', insists United boss

- By SIMON PEACH

RUBEN Amorim is not taking progress to the Europa League final for granted as he admitted Manchester United have a tendency to “lose our mind a little bit” when the going gets tough.

The United boss believes his side need to score in Thursday's semi-final second leg against Athletic Bilbao despite boasting an authoritative 3-0 lead.

The Red Devils enjoyed one of their greatest ever European away days last week as Casemiro’s header was complemented by a Bruno Fernandes brace after Dani Vivian's red card at a stunned San Mames.

All 133 teams in the competition's history to have scored three or more goals away from home in the first leg have progressed, with odds of 40-1 on absentee-hit Athletic reaching the final in their home city underlining the task at hand.
