Mason Mount orchestrates turnaround as Manchester United advance to Europa League final

Manchester United is set to meet Tottenham in a crucial Europa League final following a remarkable comeback victory against Athletic Bilbao, with Mason Mount's two impressive goals as a substitute playing a key role in the 4-1 win.

After securing a convincing 3-0 win in the first leg of the semi-final at San Mames last week, Manchester United looked on course for a place in the final. However, Athletic Bilbao's resilience made the match far from easy for the Red Devils.

Athletic took the lead with a stunning 25-yard strike from Mikel Jauregizar as Manchester United struggled in the early stages, taking advantage of a mistake by Harry Maguire. However, the home team rallied back with Mount's crucial goal, along with goals from Casemiro and Rasmus Hojlund.

Mount sealed the victory with a spectacular long-range goal in stoppage time, with goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala out of position, confirming a 4-1 win and a 7-1 aggregate scoreline in favor of Manchester United.
