Manchester United are going through a very tough patch this season as they are in 14th place in the Premier League table. They have lost more games (15) than won (10) this season, which implies that their quality has fallen off drastically. United’s form in the last five league games has been poor as well, drawing two games and losing three. Their only hope of winning a trophy this season and gaining qualification to the UEFA Champions League is the UEFA Europa League.
Although Manchester United did do well in the quarter-finals against Lyon, dominating during the dying minutes of the game and scoring extra-time goals courtesy of Mainoo and Maguire, they will find it difficult to play in such a manner against an in-form Athletic Club. A great statistic for Manchester United this season is that they are unbeaten in the Europa League. Manchester United finished third in the league stage of the 2024-2025 UEL with 18 points out of a possible 24, winning five games and drawing three.
Athletic Club have a fully fit squad to choose from, apart from Oihan Sancet, who remains a doubt for this match after suffering a knock in the last match, which saw him substituted at the start of the match. Nico Williams is also likely to start here after getting a much-needed break in the last match. He could be the danger outlet given the pace he brings onto the pitch.
Ruben Amorim will feel hard done by the amount of injuries his side are dealing with at the moment. The latest being Joshua Zirkzee and Diego Dalot, who were ever-present in the main eleven. The other absentees are Ayden Heaven, Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt and Toby Collyer.
