Manchester United travel to the Basque Country for the first leg of their Europa League semifinal against Athletic Club on Thursday.
United looked set for a quarter-final exit at the hands of French team Lyon earlier this month, as they trailed 6-4 on aggregate with just six minutes of extra time remaining. However, Ruben Amorim's men staged a remarkable fightback at the Theatre of Dreams, scoring three times late on to win 5-4 on the night, securing their spot in the last four.
The Red Devils have endured a miserable domestic season, ending the weekend in 14th after earning a draw at Bournemouth, but this competition has the potential to salvage their campaign.
However, it's going to take a huge effort from the Premier League side to beat an apparent team of destiny. Athletic Club are just two games away from playing in a home Europa League final at the end of May.
They eased past Rangers to set up this tie and were the standout team in the league phase. Domestically, Ernesto Valverde's side are fourth in La Liga and in a great position to play Champions League football next season.
Here's guide to Thursday's first leg in the Basque Country.
