Athletic Club 0-3 Manchester United: UEFA Europa League result as Bruno Fernandes brace puts Red Devils on cusp of final

That normally means a penalty is coming.

Meanwhile, Maguire is getting rave reviews.

Almost a second United goal as Mazraoui crosses towards Hojlund, who is agonizingly close to tapping in. He feels he was being held back and wants a penalty – VAR is investigating.

United lead, against the run of play, and Maguire plays starring role again!

The visitors look to have wasted a free kick on halfway, but Maguire twists and turns of the right to find room for an excellent cross, Ugarte flicks on and Casemiro nods in at the back post. Quite remarkably, United lead.

Albeit one on loan at Chelsea. You can follow that game here.

United have a rare chance to send the big men forward after Garnacho wins a soft free kick on the right, but the delivery is not the best and Sannadi heads clear.

Since that disallowed goal, United have been under real pressure. But it remains goalless, and with Mazraoui down they have a chance to catch their breath.

He will be fine to carry on.

The Argentinian winger was more than half a yard offside, the VAR animation would later show.

Inaki Williams finds space on the right, runs behind and crosses low into the box. Lindelof's inefficient clearance presents Berenguer with a great chance, but Lindelof then makes an even better block to deny Berenguer. That looked like a certain goal.

Rio Ferdinand is part of the TNT Sports commentary team in Bilbao.

"Has to score that," he says of the chance. "On a sixpence. It’s a wonderful cross into the box. It’s a great run. Gets across Leny Yoro. Has to score that."

Sqaured up by Sannadi, who has started well, Maguire keeps his eyes on the ball and makes a strong tackle in the box, then wins a free kick.

Despite having three centre-backs in the area, Inaki Williams ghosts in from the right and has a free header, eight yards out, but puts it over!

It was a brilliant cross from Berenguer and a huge let-off for United.

Berchiche heads wide at the far post from a short corner. The hosts' high tempo is already asking questions of United.

Ugarte is caught on the ball, Athletic pounce and work an opening for Berenguer. He slips as he shoots, about 20 yards from goal, and Onana trips round the post.

Garnacho bundles into a one-on-one and shoots into the far corner after United win the ball in the opposition half, but Ugarte's through ball was slightly delayed and Garnacho was offside.

A VAR review confirms the on-field decision.

Headed away by Fernandes.

United get the match started.

United are wearing dark blue shirts and Athletic their traditional stripes of red and white.

Before kick-off there is a moment of reflection to remember the late Pope Francis, although chanting continues throughout.

Giant red and white stripes are being made by the Athletic fans with pieces of card, as the club anthem is sung. It's a spectacular atmosphere in Bilbao.

High praise after last night.

The Man United manager says this competition is "really important for us", though accepts the league form – which has his team down in 14th – is what they should be judged on.

"I think it is a little bit a pride thing," Amorim told TNT Sports. 

"We should be judged by the Premier League, not European football. You feel that the players really want this, it's really important for us, not just for the title but also to secure Champions League for next year. That is really important for our club."
