Former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson declared Manchester United's performance against Athletic Bilbao as "the best under Ruben Amorim" after they won 3-0 in their Europa League semi-final first leg.

Casemiro produced an exceptional performance at the heart of United’s midfield and was singled out for praise by Rio Ferdinand for his ‘sensational’ showing. However, the Brazilian – a five-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid – was keen to point out to his team-mates that it was only half-time in the tie.

Manchester United are halfway through to a Europa League final showdown with (presumably) Tottenham Hotspur after an unexpected 3-0 victory away to 10-man Athletic Bilbao in the first leg of the semifinals on Thursday.
