Bilbao, the team that Manchester United will face this season, their level of play is above Manchester United. That's a reality.
Later, I will favor Bilbao because of the quality of their game even though Manchester United this season has performed beyond expectations during the UEFA Europa League with a new format.
This is a fact but I won't write off Manchester United even if Bilbao has a better game level this season than them but still they can do something.
Anyway, it's better not to expect anything much from them and my advice to any Manchester United fan is that they should be grateful they got to this point of the Europa League tournament this season and if they fail to win it or pass this stage, they still did well looking at their over all performance especially in the EPL.
I think if Manchester United met Bodo/Glimt or Tottenham in the semi-finals, then their chances of qualifying for the final are very big. Athletic Bilbao is the strongest team in the semi-finals and I also favor them to qualify for the finals and become champions. Unfortunately United had to meet Bilbao in the semi-finals. I think Manchester United fans should be grateful that their team managed to advance to the semi-finals. But if United can beat Bilbao and advance to the final, I think they will be the champions. On the other hand, I really appreciate Bodo/Glimt because they surprisingly managed to advance to the semi-finals. I don't think anyone thought they would reach this position. And even though they lost in the semi-finals, this has made them famous and maybe will increase their reputation and chances of their players being noticed by top European clubs.
