Wayne Rooney has claimed Manchester United reaching the Europa League final would be 'papering over cracks' - and revealed what confuses him about the club.

Ruben Amorim's side hold a 3-0 aggregate lead over Athletic Bilbao heading into the second leg of their semi-final showdown at Old Trafford on Thursday.

Provided they avoid a shock capitulation, they will go on to face either Tottenham or Bodo/Glimt in Bilbao on May 21 as they look to end a horror season on a high.

Amorim has admitted his focus is now firmly on Europe and the potential of qualifying for the Champions League despite languishing in 15th in the Premier League and being consigned to a bottom half finish, having lost 16 of their matches to date.
