Manchester United took a giant step towards the UEFA Europa League final with an exceptional victory against the Bilbao sports club in the first leg of the semi-final.
Manchester United recovered a 3-0 at home during the first leg, and they will be confident to do the work at home next week. The Spanish outfit has been completely preceded and Manchester United produced a clinical and disciplined performance on the road.
Can Man United save their season?
Until now, it was a disappointing campaign for them, but winning the UEFA Europa League could have a morale in the club. It is unlikely that they will obtain a qualification in the Champions League through the League posts, and therefore, they will have to win the Europa League in order to participate in the Champions League next year.
Manchester United looked clinical in the attack, and they did well to try their luck. In addition to that, they were lit defensively.
Casemiro impressed for Man United
The Brazilian defensive midfielder Casemiro produced an exceptional display for his team when they needed it. He has been strongly criticized for his performance in recent months. The former Real Madrid star has not been to his best for some time, but he intensified when it really counted. It was linked to an release in summer.
The Manchester United midfielder produced four plated and four authorizations during his stay in the field. He managed to win 10 of the 12 duels he also disputed. The Brazilian managed to get on the score sheet, and he was also composed of his death.
The performance tonight will have given him a huge boost, and he will try to build there in the coming weeks. It will be interesting to see if he can help Manchester United finish the season strongly and win a major trophy.
The Brazilian won several European cuts during his stay at Real Madrid, and his winning experience could also be vital.
