Manchester United and Tottenham book passage to Europa League final | OneFootball

Manchester United will face Tottenham Hotspur in an all-English Europa League final.

Both sides booked their place in the decider on Thursday night, earning comfortable aggregate victories in their semi-final ties.

Manchester United held a 3-0 advantage over Athletic Bilbao but fell behind in the return. Mikel Jauregizar’s goal gave the Spaniards a glimmer of hope but Athletic were unable to extend their advantage despite chances at Old Trafford. Mason Mount came off the bench to inspire a turnaround for the home side.

The midfielder made it back-to-back games with a brilliant equaliser, turning sharply inside the box and firing home. Casemiro and Rasmus Hojlund added late goals to make the result safe, before Mount’s crowning moment.

The 26-year-old fired in from near the halfway line with Julen Agirrezabala wayward after a poor clearance. It was a huge night for Mount, who has endured an injury-plagued time at Manchester United.

Ruben Amorim’s side will face Tottenham Hotspur in a fascinating final with plenty on the line. Leading 3-1 from the first leg, goals from Dominic Solanke and Pedro Porro earned a 2-0 win at Bodo/Glimt in the return and aggregate progress. The North Londoners have reached their first final in this competition since 1984.

With both sides enduring disappointing domestic campaigns, the Europa League final offers a winner-takes-all shootout to salvage their seasons. Currently 15th and 16th in the Premier League, the winners will win silverware and a place in next season’s Champions League.
