Ruben Amorim admitted on the eve of Manchester United’s crunch semi-final against Athletic Bilbao that even Europa League glory cannot save their season. This has been the Red Devils’ worst campaign of the Premier League era, with the side 14th and on a meagre 39 points with four matches remaining.

Manchester United have been handed a huge injury boost after Amad Diallo trained ahead of their Europa League semi-final first leg with Athletic Bilbao. Matthijs de Ligt also looks set to be passed fit for the game on Thursday night.

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.
