I have said it before, and I will say it again: Manchester United is destined to win this season's UEFA Europa League trophy, and there's nothing Athletic Bilbao, Tottenham Hotspur, or Bodø/Glimt can do to stop Manchester United from winning the UEFA Europa League trophy this season. With the number of goals Manchester United was able to score at San Mamés, I don't see Athletic Bilbao getting through to the UEFA Europa League final. Even though Athletic Bilbao beat Manchester United at Old Trafford in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League semi finals, it won't be up to a 3-goal difference, so automatically Manchester United has already qualified for the UEFA Europa League final.
You seem to be both right and wrong at the same time. You are right because the Manchester United we have seen last night proves that they are capable of beating everyone and they look better than all three other teams.
However, if you have seen them in premier league at any given game, then you also know that they are so bad that they could literally lose 0-4 next game and lose at semi finals. This has to be the most important part of their consistency, this has to be volatility that has to be how we will bet accordingly. If I see them doing great and bet on them to win and they suddenly end up playing like those terrible games they have? That would not be good and I would lose my bet. At the very least, they could lose next game against Bilbao and still go to finals if they lose with just one or two goal difference, so Bilbao may win.
Man United's performance this season is indeed difficult to predict, they play like two-faced. In the domestic league they are very weak but when in the European league their performance is very epic, all players look very motivated and excited. Just look at Bruno's game this season, just like seeing Bruno when he first came to Man United, he really deserves to wear the captain's armband on his arm. And salute to Maguire, he who has been bullied for years, and now he has found his best performance again in the European league.
So in the second leg I am sure and optimistic that they will win again, even though they are currently a little safe because they have a 3 goal advantage, but I am not sure Bilbao will win even though they only win by a narrow goal. Because of course Man United will still want to maintain their record as a team that has never lost in the Euro League, and this victory will certainly be a good capital when they are in the Final.
