Manchester United have advanced to the 2025 UEFA Europa League final after a dominant 4-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao at Old Trafford, sealing a resounding 7-1 aggregate win. The star of the night was Mason Mount, who scored twice in the second half to spark United’s comeback and send them into an all-English showdown with Tottenham Hotspur.

United trailed early after Mikel Jauregizar opened the scoring for the visitors in the first half. But the game turned after the break when manager Ruben Amorim introduced Mount off the bench. The former Chelsea midfielder responded with a composed finish in the 72nd minute before adding a spectacular long-range strike in stoppage time—his first goals at Old Trafford since joining the club.

“A special night. It was too long waiting for such a moment, but I stayed patient and kept working,” Mount told reporters post-match. His impact helped erase a sluggish start and reminded fans of his attacking quality on a big European night.

Additional goals from Casemiro and Rasmus Højlund rounded out a commanding performance, as United’s depth and experience overpowered a young Bilbao side. Ruben Amorim praised his squad’s composure and focus, but stressed that the job isn't done: “We want the trophy, not just the final. That’s the mentality.”

United will now face Tottenham on May 21 at San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao. With both clubs seeking redemption from underwhelming domestic campaigns, the final offers a chance to lift silverware and secure a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League.

Mount’s breakthrough couldn’t come at a better time for Manchester United. With momentum building and belief growing under Amorim, the Red Devils head into the final with confidence—and the chance to reclaim European glory.
