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.
This is going to be the most difficult game Manchester United would be playing in the EUFA Europa league this season. They should make no mistake of letting Bilbao take a lead in this game, unlike Lyon, it's going to be a doom for United if that happens because this Bilbao side has a sturdy defence structure which puts them at advantage over that of United with an erratic defense and an error filled goalie. But if United can get a draw in this first leg and perhaps fight to win at Old Trafford they might just get to the finals.
