MU easily won against the Basque representative - the team had to play with one less player when Dani Vivian was sent off in the 35th minute early this morning (May 2).
Casemiro opened the scoring with a header at the far post after Harry Maguire's impressive run down the right flank. Captain Bruno Fernandes then scored twice. The result was decided in the first half.
In the second half, MU slowed down the game and Bilbao pressed forward to find an equalizer. However, playing with one less player meant that Bilbao could not launch their attacks as expected. The explosive Nico Williams had a truly disappointing day when he was blocked by MU players.
The ticket to the final is already in MU's hands when they play at home in the second leg and have a 3-0 advantage in the first leg. MU can meet Tottenham, who also just won 3-1 against Bodo/Glimt.

If the Red Devils win the Europa League in Bilbao, they will qualify for next season's Champions League. England are now facing the possibility of having up to six representatives in next season's Champions League, if either United or Spurs win the second-tier European tournament.
Bibao fans believe that MU's victory was due to referee bias, when their team had to play with 10 men very early. And the decisions of the main referee Espen Eskas also caused a lot of controversy.
