We're one step closer to an all-Premier League Europa League final in Bilbao after Tottenham and Manchester United have both won the first legs of their semifinal matches. Both teams came in driven, taking multiple-goal leads into halftime before cruising to victory.

However, there is no chance that a Manchester United-Tottenham final could be moved to an English venue, with Bilbao’s San Mames stadium awarded the rights to host the Europa League final way back in 2021, the same year that Uefa decided the Basque city would host the 2024 Women’s Champions League final.

Ruben Amorim does not believe winning the Europa League will solve Manchester United’s problems despite victory offering a back-door route into next season’s Champions League.
