Match Facts
In all major European competitions, only one side has ever won the first leg of a two-legged knockout tie away from home by 3+ goals and failed to progress, with Maccabi Tel Aviv doing so against Olympiakos in the 2023-24 UEFA Conference League last 16 (4-1 away win, 6-1 home defeat after extra-time).
In the five previous matches between Manchester United and Athletic Club, there have been 22 goals (4.4 per game), with the Red Devils scoring 12 and conceding 10. All five of those matches have seen at least three goals scored.
Athletic Club have lost seven of their nine previous away games against English sides in all European competitions (W1 D1), although their most recent was a 3-2 win over Manchester United in March 2012 in the UEFA Europa League.
Manchester United are unbeaten in their 13 UEFA Europa League games this season (W8 D5), and could become only the seventh side to reach the competition’s final without losing a match en route, after Benfica (2013-14), Chelsea (2018-19), Internazionale (2019-20), Villarreal (2020-21), Eintracht Frankfurt (2021-22), and Bayer Leverkusen (2023-24).
After losing the first leg 3-0 at home, Athletic Club could lose both their home and away leg of a knockout tie in major European competition for only the third time, after the 1967-68 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup quarter-final against Ferencvárosi TC, and the 2017-18 UEFA Europa League last 16 against Marseille.
Manchester United have lost just one of their last 30 home games in the UEFA Europa League (W23 D6), a 0-1 group stage defeat to Real Sociedad in September 2022. Indeed, they must lose by at least three goals in order to not progress from this tie – the Red Devils have never in their history lost a home game in any European competition by a margin of 3+ goals.
Athletic Club have forced more shot-ending high turnovers than any other side in the UEFA Europa League this season (26), while Manchester United rank second for this (23).
Manchester United have scored 31 goals in this season’s UEFA Europa League – more than any other side. Only in 2002-03 (32) and 2020-21 (34) have they ever scored more in a single campaign in major European competition.
Iñaki Williams has scored four of Athletic Club’s seven away goals in his season’s UEFA Europa League (57%). The only player to score more away goals in a single campaign in major European competition for the club is Aritz Aduriz, who has done so twice, both in the UEFA Europa League (6 in 2015-16, 5 in 2017-18).
Ruben Amorim is looking to become the first manager to reach a major European final in his first season in charge of an English club since Thomas Tuchel with Chelsea in the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League. Only one Manchester United manager has ever achieved this feat in his debut season, with José Mourinho doing so in the 2016-17 UEFA Europa League.
