MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester United are through to the Europa League final, but not before showcasing just why they've been left needing this competition to save their season.
Man United led 3-0 from the first leg in Bilbao and faced an Athletic Club without four of their most important players through injury and suspension, but it still wasn't until the 70th minute that Ruben Amorim and his players could be sure of their progress.
Mason Mount's first goal at Old Trafford more than 18 months after his arrival from Chelsea lifted the roof off the stadium, although the celebrations were filled with relief more than anything else.
