- Man Utd beat Athletic Club 4-1 to reach Europa League final
- Red Devils triumphed 7-1 on aggregate across both semi-final legs
- Tottenham will be their opponents in the showpiece event
Manchester United have booked a date with Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final after beating Athletic Club 4-1 at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils boasted an impressive three-goal cushion from last week's semi-final first leg but Mikel Jauregizar's excellent opener had the home fans fearing an unthinkable comeback at half-time.
Manchester United are potentially just 90 minutes away from reaching this season's Europa League final after a thumping 3-0 win over Athletic Club on Thursday night.
Ruben Amorim's side, who have endured a poor domestic campaign but continue to perform in European games, now possess a comfortable aggregate lead ahead of next week's return leg.
Casemiro broke the deadlock after United initially weathered a storm from the hosts in Bilbao, before Daniel Vivian was dismissed for a foul on Rasmus Hojlund that resulted in a penalty being awarded.
Bruno Fernandes scored from the spot and then added a third for United shortly afterwards, all before half-time. They struck the bar and the post either side of the break and at times it seemed like Athletic Club goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala was a one-man band keeping it even semi-respectable.
