In the 42nd minute of the Europa League semi-final second leg, when MU was trailing 0-1, Patrick Dorgu broke through Athletic Bilbao's high-flying defense. Alejandro Garnacho escaped and faced goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala.

Garnacho missed MU's best chance in the first half. |
But instead of placing a shot into the far corner, he opted for a chip. The young Argentine's effort sent the ball beyond the reach of the away team's goalkeeper but it went wide.
On the sidelines, coach Ruben Amorim could not hide his disappointment with his 2004-born student. Finishing ability has long been a problem for Garnacho. In a moment of brilliance, the 21-year-old can create masterpieces. However, he often misses opportunities that every attacking player could have converted into goals.
"Too flashy. Just a basic shot," one MU fan was disappointed. "Sign Matheus Cunha immediately," said a second. "Chelsea, come and take Garnacho and leave £70 million," said a third "Red Devils" fan in disappointment.
After Garnacho's miss, MU had an explosive second half with 4 goals. Mason Mount, the substitute, shined with 2 classy goals, helping MU advance straight to the Europa League final against Tottenham.
The all-English final of this season's Europa League takes place at 2am on May 22 at San Mames, Bilbao's home ground.
