Match Preview & Expert Prediction

After a ruthless 3–0 win in Spain, Manchester United return to Old Trafford with one foot firmly planted in the final. Athletic Bilbao were overwhelmed in the first leg, with United’s frontline—led by Fernandes, Rashford, and Højlund—ripping through their backline.

Unless Bilbao pulls off one of the greatest comebacks in recent European history, this tie looks done and dusted. The Spanish side may score, but United’s depth and home advantage will likely seal the deal.

Prediction:

Manchester United 2 – 1 Athletic Bilbao
Aggregate: 5 – 1
Expect United to manage the game, rest key players late, and book their spot in the final.
