Manchester United have a three-goal advantage over Athletic Bilbao ahead of their Europa League semi-final second leg at Old Trafford on Thursday night.

Though the Theatre of Dreams has played host to some dramatic European nights over the years, including the 5-4 victory over Lyon in the quarter-finals, Ruben Amorim will be hoping this week's game is far more straightforward.

Man Utd were outstanding in their 3-0 win in Bilbao last week, but in the post-Ferguson years, the Red Devils tend to do things the hard way, so you feel there could still be more twists to come.

Ernesto Valverde's side can take hope from the fact that the hosts have crumbled under pressure time and time again this season.

The Spanish side are once again sweating on the fitness of star striker Oihan Sancet, who missed the first leg due to injury and would be sorely missed at Old Trafford, while they could also be without attacking duo Nico and Iñaki Williams.

The prospect of a home final, against either Bodø/Glimt or Tottenham, will serve as extra motivation for Athletic Bilbao as they look to complete a remarkable turnaround.
