That's all we have for tonight as we get ready for an all-English final that might be the most consequential in recent Europa League/UEFA Cup history.
FULL TIME!! SPURS ARE THROUGH AND IT'S AN ALL-ENGLISH FINAL
FULL TIME!!! MANCHESTER UNITED ARE THROUGH TO THE EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL
GOOOOAL! MOUNT WITH AN AMAZING GOAL!
Mount puts the seal on a mad final 20 minutes with a truly brilliant goal.
Julen Agirrezabala comes to clear a ball but plays it right to the midfielder, who angles a stunning strike over him and into the net from all of 45 yards.
GOOOOAL! MAN UTD MAKE IT 3-1!!!!
Rasmus Højlund makes it 3-1 from close range after brilliant work from Amad down the line.
The Ivorian has been sensational since coming on.
Mainoo is on for Casemiro, with his night's work done.
GOOOOOOAAAAAL! MAN UTD TAKE THE LEAD!
That's the final booked.
Casemiro heads home from Fernandes' free kick, looping the ball into the net with a stooping header.
He's some man for a European night, and that's two in this tie for him!
GOOOOAL! UNITED ON THEIR WAY!
Mason Mount has United on their way to the final with a brilliant goal.
Yoro plays him the ball, and he turns on it and bends it into the far corner.
Old Trafford is a happy place again.
GOOOOAL! SPURS BOOK THEIR FINAL SPOT!
Spurs are through! Porro seals the win with a poor cross that ends up looping into the net.
They're coasting to the final.
If United are to score, it feels like Amad will be involved.
He has been very sharp since coming on.
Spurs fans are celebrating in the stands, and you can't blame them.
They are just over 20 minutes away from the final in Bilbao.
GOOOOAL! SPURS NEAR-SEAL FINAL SPOT!!
Dominic Solanke has done it again, being the first to react to a bouncing ball in the box at a corner.
Big goal, and Spurs are within touching distance of the final.
Shaw is at left wing-back meaning Dorgu has shifted to the right.
Fernandes is deeper in midfield with Amad and Mount ahead of him.
Both United and Athletic make three changes.
It's Amad, Mason Mount and Luke Shaw on for Mazraoui, Ugarte and Garnacho.
Spurs are managing things better, with Bodø struggling to create real chances.
United have not got on the ball at all in the 10 minutes of the second half.
They need to get ahold of this game.
Very shaky start to the second half from United, which will only fuel the belief in Athletic.
The next goal here is absolutely huge.
Surely it won't be too long before we see Amorim make changes.
Amad seems an obvious one to come on.
Back under way for a massive 45 minutes for all four clubs.
HALF TIME!
United trail and Athletic will have real hope, while Spurs are doing the job so far in Bodø.
BIG MISS!
Garnacho is one on one after a lovely through ball from Dorgu, but his chip over the keeper goes horribly wrong and wide.
CHANCE!
United almost level things up. Manuel Ugarte charges up the pitch, plays it wide to Garnacho, whose ball goes across the ball.
Dorgu takes it off the toe of Fernandes, and sees his shot blocked.
Athletic are getting to every loose ball. United need to settle and get to half time.
The tension at Old Trafford is palpable, and can you blame the fans?
United have lost 3-0 at home three times in the league this season.
GOOOOOAL! ATHLETIC TAKE THE LEAD!
Oh here we go.
Mikel Jauregizar gives Athletic the lead with an absolute screamer past Onana.
It was poor defending from Maguire that allowed the shot but what a hit that was.
Game on?
CLOSE!
Pedro Porro's free-kick is just tipped over.
How Ange Postecoglou would love the first goal here.
Patrick Dorgu goes down but his penalty claim is waved away.
Easy call.
Bodø have made a decent start but are yet to really test Guglielmo Vicario.
If they can take the lead tonight, they will fully believe.
Agirrezabala is out to stop Garnacho again after a lovely through ball from Bruno Fernandes.
United will have chances to counter tonight, and Alejandro Garnacho almost gets in.
Julen Agirrezabala comes from his goal to clear the danger, though.
The first goal here feels big.
First sight of goal for Athletic, and Álex Berenguer might have done better.
He curls over from inside the box after Noussair Mazraoui's header gifts him the ball.
Very little action in the opening minutes of both games, with United and Spurs not needing to force the issue too much.
KICK OFF!
And we're underway!
Moments away from kick off in Manchester and Bodø.
After the events of last week, it appears very likely we are set for an all-English final in Bilbao, with Manchester United and Tottenham in commanding positions.
However, Bodø/Glimt's late goal in their 3-1 loss to Ange Postecoglou's side does make things interesting, particularly with tonight's game being played on an artificial pitch, where several big clubs have come unstuck.
As for United, it's hard to rule out anything at this point, even with Athletic without several big names, most notably Nico Williams.
