Europa League & Conference League Update! Man Utd & Tottenham edge closer to an all-English Europa League final with semi-final first-leg wins. Opta says there's an 88% chance of it happening, meaning SIX Premier League teams in next season's Champions League! 


Man Utd dominated Athletic Bilbao 3-0, with Harry Maguire stealing the show! His slick assist earned him the ‘Harrydinho’ nickname. Andros Townsend on FootballDaily: “It was so smooth, it looked like Garnacho!” Big-game player rising to the occasion.


Just 7 mins after Maguire’s magic, United got a penalty after a VAR review. Dani Vivian was sent off for fouling Rasmus Hojlund, and Bruno Fernandes silenced the Bilbao boos with a cool spot-kick. Ugarte’s clever flick set up Fernandes for a 3-0 lead before the break!
