The red card received by Dani Vivian in the 33rd minute made the match lopsided, Bilbao were increasingly under pressure because they were outnumbered and had difficulty keeping up with Man United who were increasingly free to control the match.

I don't think that should have been a red card. If the last man commits a foul inside the box, it should be a penalty and a yellow card, but if it were outside the box, then it should be a red card. It should only be a red card and a penalty when the challenge would have been a red card regardless of where it happened on the pitch, last man or not.
To make things more interesting, there was a handball by Garnarcho that happened in the build-up of the penalty. That should have cancelled the foul entirely, but it was not called.

That's football for you, though. You can prepare all you want and be ready as you can be, but one bad decision can ruin your whole plans.

I think everyone thinks like you. Because I think the same way. I couldn't understand how the referee gave a red card for that move, most likely no one could understand, there was no hit, nothing that could injure the player, but he showed a red card directly.
With this red card, the fate of a team was determined.

If not for that pull from Bilbao defender, that assist would have been converted. He obstructed a goal which, if i judge from my football knowledge, deserves a red, for a professional to make such a silly mistake is what makes the card valid. If we discuss what happened before the red card, the foul committed by Garnacho when he fell with the ball touching his hand without the referee calling it back is defendable, the referee knew what he did and neglected to call it in order.

Bilbao can't meet up during the second leg, United approached the first leg of semi semi-finals in a good well mannered, they deserve to play in the finals, we will see enough when they face Tottenham in the finals.

I think that maybe the Athletic club was stunned when Daniel Vivian got a red card, because his team was under a lot of pressure because of the Spanish players. I would like to commend Manchester United in today's UEFA Europa League semi-final match, they were active in today's game and were almost successful in all their efforts. Moreover Ruben Amorim's team was able to show a great spell in the semi-final match, even it seems like they've taken a giant step towards reaching the Europa League final. At the moment we see that coincidentally three players have managed to score seven goals each in the UEFA Europa League. They are Bruno Fernandes, Kasper Hogh and Ayoub El Kaabi.
