Manchester United took a huge step towards the Europa League final with a categorical 3-0 victory on the 10 men’s sports club in San Mames in an impressive evening for the Ruben Amorim team.
Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes scored first half for visitors, who could hardly be in a better position at half-time, three goals and a man with good.
The hosts threatened a tense match after a good start, but after 15 minutes, United began to take control, before the red card in Dani Vivian saw them spectacularly falling.
The second half saw United trying to control the game, their advantage of three goals an extremely precious goods to bring home with them before the second floor of next week, in particular after the drama of victory against Lyon in the quarters.
But finally, visitors managed to escape with all their intact advantage in an extremely important result in the season of United.
Here, Dominic Hogan of Mail Sport makes you cross the stars that have resisted the task and those who failed to impress.

Man United-3-4-2-1
Andre Onana – 6.5
Made a brilliant backup of diving on the right to the coast of Alex Berenguer as a athletic club threatened a quick start, but otherwise had very little to do at night.
LENY YORO – 6.5 (reserved)
Maybe could have communicated better with Patrick Dorgu to reduce the gap between the two, the back of the wing moving too high before the advantage of man reduces the risk of exposure.
But it was a night when, during the best part of the hour, it was largely without a hole and showed a good leg game in the second half to escape restricted spaces.
Harry Maguire – 7.5
Strangely, turned into an excellent winger for 30 seconds in the accumulation of the opening of Casemiro, the torsion and the turning point, the hash and the change, before putting a shiny cross. A fresh head at the back under extreme crowd pressure before making the way right after the brand.
Leny Yoro showed a good game of legs to get out of limited spaces but was reserved late
Harry Maguire put a fantastic crossing for the first goal after a fairly shiny leg game
Victor Lindelof – 6.5
Asked on the ball in the 17th minute to allow inki Williams almost a golden chance to open the scoring, but immediately expired with a superb double block of the line two minutes later.
That being said, he had trouble doing the foundations and remained trembling and apparently nervous in possession.
Doussair Mazraoui – 6.5
Was largely anonymous for 45 minutes before coming to a paint of the fourth of United in a sensational manner, his first trip from the edge of the box slamming in the transverse bar.
Casemiro – 8
Made a critical block of Inaki Williams very early after Lindelof’s error, presenting all the experience you take by winning five champions leagues, before opening the scoring with a goal that his performance deserves fully.
A calm, composed and mature presence in a very partisan San Mames, and hardly gets a foothold. His performance only suspended by the exploits of his captain, but has shown that on the European scene, at least, his class is permanent.
Victor Lindelof seemed nervous in possession in the first half but made an astonishing double block
From the first minute, set tone for United and relied on his entire experience to control the midfielder under an intense crowd pressure
Manual ugarte – 7
Found itself a little out of position sometimes in the first half, and lost the ball twice unnecessarily, but the audience was turned for the first very cute touch of Casemiro to set up the second of Fernandes night.
Patrick Dorgu – 6
Perhaps more emphasis on the “wing” element of his description of a position backwards, but even then, he had trouble beat the first man with crosses of the left.
Alejandro Garnacho – 7 (reserved)
Typically dynamic and energetic in the future and was the greatest threat of United at the start. Although there was a flash of his finish for the effort excluded in five minutes, he had a hard time putting himself in a position to regularly threaten the goal of the sports club.
Bruno Fernandes – 8.5
Garnacho’s early opener may have been shifted, but Fernandes’ delicious bankruptcy film deserved a goal in its own right. Is one of the best in the 12 -meter company, and showed why when he was looking at a feverish household stand before caressing at home.
Alejandro Garnacho AD An effort was excluded in five minutes for offside, but had trouble threatening the goal of the sports club regularly
Patrick Dorgu did not have his best game in a plain shirt, lax and inaccurate follow -up during crossing
Fernandes was the conductor
Then, at the blow of half-time, he categorically finished to do 3-0 for his seventh in the Europa League this quarter. Naturally, was the chief conductor of the Ruben Amorim Red Orchestra.
Rasmus Hojlund – 7
Did not get a lot of service in the first half, but has shown a great conscience to get in order to force Dani Vivian’s fault to win a penalty, and would probably have had a tapo-in if they are not pulled back. Fought and fought throughout the second half, courageously putting his body on the line.
Sub:
Matthijs de Ligt (on Maguire at 65 ‘) – 6.5
Mason Mount (on Ugarte at 65 ‘) – 6
Luke Shaw (on Mazraoui on 74 ‘) – 6.5 (reserved)
Amad Diallo (on dorgu on 84 ‘) – 6.5
Ruben Amorim obtained his tactic so that Man United escapes with their advantage of three goals intact for the second step
Kobbie Mainoo (on Garnacho on 84 ‘) – 6.5
Bayindir, Amass, Eriksen, Fredricson, Heaton, Kamason, Mantato.
Director:
Ruben Amorim – 7
With his 3-0 team against 10 men at the break, the head coach could probably not even believe his luck, but did not allow his team to relax. He made sure that they kept the land as wide as possible when his team run the sports club in tatters.
Finally, made the right call with his tactics in the second half while United controlled the rhythm of the game to get out of the Basque country with their 3-0 advance. So much pressure in Thursday evening’s match in the context of the season, and Amorim would not have really hoped for a better result.
