Man Utd 4–1 Athletic Club: Player Ratings as Red Devils Qualify for Europa League Final

The Red Devils went behind early through a scintillating strike from Mikel Jauregizar who were without Nico and Inaki Williams on the night. Two second-half goals restored the lead thanks to substitute Mason Mount and Casemiro. Rasmus Hojlund got on the scoresheet as well to mark six goals on aggregate for Ruben Amorim's team, but they weren't done there.

Mount added a fourth in stoppage time to cap off a celebratory night at the Theatre of Dreams.

The result not only booked a spot in the final against Tottenham Hotspur, but it also maintained the side's undefeated record in the competition this season. United finished third in the league phase with five wins and three draws followed by a draw and win against Real Sociedad and Olympique Lyon in the round of 16 and quarterfinals each.

In what's been a season to forget domestically finishing bottom half of the table and failing to defend their FA Cup victory from last year, the Europa League has been a lifeline. If they win the competition, they'll qualify for the Champions League. A potential result and reprieve for the Portuguese manager that will go a long way after taking over for Erik ten Hag mid-season.
