Man United took a huge step towards reaching the Europa League final by winning 3-0 against Athletic Bilbao on Thursday evening.

Ruben Amorim’s side had to survive an early barrage from the hosts before a goal from Casemiro put the away side into the lead.

The big talking point from the game, though, was the decision to award the visitors a penalty and send off Dani Vivian for pulling back Rasmus Hojlund following the intervention of VAR.

Captain Bruno Fernandes calmly dispatched the resulting spot-kick and then proceeded to put the Red Devils 3-0 up before the end of the first half.

United had more opportunities to add to their lead but they are now in a commanding position ahead of the second leg at Old Trafford next week. Press the next page as we hand out our Man United player ratings.
