Athletic Bilbao will be hoping to complete one of the greatest European comebacks of all time when they face Manchester United in the second leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday night.
The Spanish side will make the trip to Old Trafford with the ambition of overturning a three-goal deficit, after falling foul of a first half blitz from United at the San Mames Stadium last week. Goals from Bruno Fernandes (2) and Casemiro ensured United were 3-0 up by the break.

Manchester United will be thinking that they have one foot in the final as they have 3 goal lead and it would take a lot out of Bilbao to achieve this. Bilbao who are already without their main wingers, William Brothers due to injury will also be missing Oihan Sancet again due to piling injuries.
UEFA have confirmed that Daniel Siebert will referee Manchester United’s Europa League semi-final second leg against Athletic Club.
Assistant referees Jan Seidel and Rafael Foltyn will work alongside the man in the middle at Old Trafford, with Tobias Stieler fourth official. Christian Dingert is the appointed video assistant referee, with Soeren Storks the assistant video assistant referee to complete an all-German officiating team.
