US EditionBilbao's Williams brothers to miss Man United semi-final clash
- Manchester United prepares for the Europa League semi-final second leg against Athletic Bilbao after the first leg ended 3-0 in Bilbao last week.
- This core event follows Eric ten Hag's sacking and Ruben Amorim's November appointment, which triggered a difficult start to United's season amid ongoing turmoil.
- United's campaign has included 16 Premier League losses, a 15th-place standing, and six league wins since Amorim replaced ten Hag, while Bruno Fernandes excelled by scoring twice and assisting amid Athletic's first-half red card.
- Fernandes holds 31 goal involvements in 32 Europa League knockout appearances—the most since the competition rebranded in 2009—and Amorim states winning the Europa League remains crucial despite league struggles.
- A Europa League victory would secure Champions League qualification for United, a significant financial boost, and possibly set up a sixth all-English final against Tottenham or Bodo/Glimt later this month.
