Manchester United beat Athletic Bilbao 4-1 in the Europa League on Thursday to complete an emphatic 7-1 aggregate victory, setting up a mouthwatering final against Tottenham.

Mikel Jaureguizar’s first-half goal had given Athletic hope but Mason Mount came off the bench to settle United nerves before goals from Casemiro, Rasmus Hojlund and a second from over 40 yards out by Mount earned a handsome win at Old Trafford.

The result sets up an all-English final in Bilbao on May 21 following Tottenham’s win over Bodo/Glimt in the other semi-final. A difficult season for both Premier League clubs will end with one of them securing a Champions League spot next season.
