'All or nothing' - Amorim on UEL final against Tottenham

Second-half substitute Mason Mount scored two sensational goals as Manchester United thrashed Athletic Club to book their place in the Europa League final and set up a meeting with Tottenham Hotspur.

Athletic scored first through Mikel Jauregizar’s brilliant curling finish to give them hope of turning around a 3-0 deficit from the first leg, but Mount’s first goal killed the tie, before Casemiro and Rasmus Hojlund add close-range finishes late on.

And Mount capped off the performance with a remarkable goal as he fired home from around 50 yards with Athletic keeper Julen Agirrezabala off his line.

'All or nothing' for Manchester United, says Ruben Amorim

Ruben Amorim felt Manchester United's fighting spirit helped mask their weaknesses as Mason Mount inspired a comeback victory against Athletic Bilbao to help set up an "all or nothing" Europa League final against Tottenham.

The Red Devils overcame a slow start to win 3-0 at a stunned San Mames and did so again having stuttered in Thursday's semi-final second leg at Old Trafford, where Mikel Jaureguizar brilliantly put Ernesto Valverde's visitors ahead.

Substitute Mount settled nerves in the 72nd minute with a fantastic turn and finish, with Casemiro and Rasmus Hojlund scoring before the United midfielder wrapped up a 4-1 victory with a stunning strike from distance.

"It was a good result," United head coach Amorim said. "I think if you look at both games it was so much tougher than if you look just to the result.

"We have so many (areas of) weakness and you can understand that in the game, but we are fighting and we managed to pass (through). I think we deserve, if you look at two games, to be in the final."
