Athletic Club will host the Europa League final at San Mamés, but first they must overcome Manchester United in a thrilling semi-final showdown.
Moreover, Ernesto Valverde’s side impressed in the quarter-finals by dispatching Rangers. They have also recorded three wins and one defeat in head-to-head meetings with Manchester United.
Similarly, Athletic triumphed in both of their previous home fixtures against the Red Devils. They also won both legs when they last met in the 2011/12 campaign.
Furthermore, Athletic reached the final of that Europa League season. They currently boast a perfect home record with six victories, fourteen goals scored and only two conceded.
Meanwhile, Manchester United have endured more than their share of heartache against Spanish sides. They fell to La Liga opponents in ten of their last fifteen European campaigns.
However, Ruben Amorim’s men remain unbeaten in Europe this season. They have collected seven wins and five draws despite struggles in the Premier League standings.
In particular, their comeback against Lyon demonstrated real spirit. They scored three goals within seven minutes, including two deep into extra time, to secure their semi-final place.
Consequently, that win marked their fourteenth success from fifteen two-legged Europa League ties. They now prepare to extend their record in Spain, having lost just once in nine visits.
Firstly, Athletic winger Nico Williams could earn his first start since returning from injury. He has scored four times in their last three home Europa League matches, including two opening strikes.
Meanwhile, Rasmus Højlund struck again at the weekend. A third of his nine goals this season have come in away Europa League contests, with both previous efforts arriving after half-time.
Lastly, Manchester United have only seen one of their last sixty-three European matches end goalless, highlighting their potent attack.
