Manchester United holds a significant advantage heading into the second leg of their Europa League semi-final against Athletic Club, following an impressive performance at San Mames.
Despite the challenge ahead, Athletic Club will travel to Manchester with determination, remembering their earlier 3-0 victory at Old Trafford this season under Basque management.
Ticket Purchasing Options
For Athletic Club supporters, ticket sales have been handled through club memberships and supporters` clubs. Manchester United fans can purchase tickets through the club`s official website, but this option is limited to season ticket holders and official members.
Neutral fans or non-members have alternative options through third-party websites such as Viagogo, FootballTicket.net, or LiveFootballTickets.net. These platforms offer tickets starting from €104, with over 600 seats still available at the time of writing.
Athletic Club`s Comeback Prospects
Despite the setback in the first leg, Athletic Club has reasons for optimism. Their strong start in the initial match showed potential, and manager Ernesto Valverde will aim for a quick start at Old Trafford.
The possible return of top scorer Oihan Sancet could significantly boost Athletic`s attacking prowess. However, the team will need an almost flawless defensive performance to have a chance at overturning the deficit.
While the task ahead is challenging, Athletic Club`s resilience and the unpredictable nature of football mean the tie is not yet decided.
