Manchester United will face Tottenham Hotspur in an all-English Europa League final after a 7-1 aggregate victory against Athletic Club. Mason Mount scored twice off the bench on either side of Casemiro and Rasmus Hojlund’s contributions as the hosts won 4-1 on the night to cruise into the May 21 showcase.
Express Sport runs through the player ratings on a celebratory night at Old Trafford…
Man Utd player ratings vs Athletic Club
Andre Onana: 6
Beaten by a stunning long-range hit from Mikel Jauregizar, but replays showed he could have taken an extra step to get across.
Victor Lindelof: 6
He could mark his United exit with a trophy in Bilbao. A nervy start like in the first leg but played his part in riding the visitors’ pressure.
Harry Maguire: 5
The hero in the last Europa League game at Old Trafford but almost became the villain in this one after giving the ball away cheaply for the opener. Recovered well.
Leny Yoro: 9
United have a superstar on their hands. Grown from strength to strength this season and was seemingly involved in everything against Athletic. Unbeatable defensively, confidently progressed the ball and provided the assist for Mount’s equaliser.
Noussair Mazraoui: 6
Most of United’s attacks went through Patrick Dorgu on the left.
Manuel Ugarte: 4
Ruben Amorim’s triple substitution on 62 minutes changed the game. The Uruguayan couldn’t get a grip on the midfield battle and was deservedly taken off.
Casemiro: 7
Won 12 of 18 duels. Headed United ahead and was then promptly withdrawn after a few audacious lunges while on a yellow card. He will be crucial for Amorim in the final.
Patrick Dorgu: 7
A real attacking outlet for the hosts all evening.
Alejandro Garnacho: 3
Missed two huge chances and was one of the three brought off just after the hour mark. Luckily United didn’t pay the price.
Bruno Fernandes: 8
Rasmus Hojlund: 7
