Manchester United and Athletic Bilbao face each other on Thursday, May 8, 2025, at 4 pm GMT, at Old Trafford, for the return match of the Europa League semifinal. After winning 3-0 at the Spain game in Spain, the Red Devils will take the field with great advantage and hope to confirm the classification for the grand final, which will be played at Bilbao's San Mamés, home.
Retrospect and Time of Teams
Manchester United comes to the moral confrontation after surprising performance in the first game. The team led by Ruben Amorim dominated Athletic Bilbao, even away from home, with two goals from Bruno Fernandes and one from Casemiro in the first half. The victory in San Mamés broke an eight -month invincibility of the Spaniards acting on their domains and practically sealed the English place in the decision.
Despite the European success, the moment in the English championship is of crisis. Manchester occupies 15th place at Premier League, already guaranteed with its worst campaign in the tournament age. The only hope of playing the next Champions League is in conquering the Europa League, which increases the importance of the duel against Athletic.
On the other hand, Athletic Bilbao lives a dilemma: besides the heavy setback suffered at home, the club struggles to secure a place in La Liga's G4, but has been losing performance. In the last 14 games for the Spanish Championship, there were only five wins, which allowed Villarreal to touch the table. The team also does not live a good offensive time, having spent blank in six of the last nine matches.

What to expect from the confrontation

Statistically, all 133 teams that won the trip of a European knockout by three goals apart from home advanced to the next phase. The history plays in favor of United, which still has an efficient attack with Bruno Fernandes, Garnacho and Hojlund.
For Athletic Bilbao, the mission is almost impossible: in addition to having to win by at least three goals to bring the game to extension, the team will have to deal with a bad record away from home against English teams – lost seven of the nine visits, including a 3-2 loss to United in 2012.
